Question

A family of four spent $104 for tickets to a concert on Friday and they spent $140 for tickets to dinner theater on Saturday.What was the cost per person to attend these events

Answer 1

Cost of first event: $26 per person

Cost of second event: $35 per person

Cost of both events together: $61 per person

Explanation:

In the first event, the four people spent $104, so the cost per person of this event is:

104 / 4 = $26

Each person pays $26 for this event.

For the second event, the four people spent $140, so the cost per person of this event is:

140 / 4 = $35

The cost per person to attend both events together is:

26 + 35 = $61

Answer 2

$61

Explanation:

To determine the cost per person to attend these events, you have to add the cost of the tickets for the concert plus the cost of the tickets for dinner theater. After finding the total amount that was spent, you have to divide this by 4 that is the number of people:

Total cost= $104+$140

Total cost= $244

Cost per person= $244/4

Cost per person= $61

According to this, the cost per person to attend these events is $61.
