Question

Chen buys 4 tickets to a soccer game. The total cost before taxes is $80. Which equation would you use to determine the price, p, of the ticket? A 4p=80 B 80p=4 C 4+p=80 D p/4=80

Answer 1

4p = 80

Explanation:

Total cost before tax = $80

Number of tickets purchased = 4

Price 'p' of each ticket

p = total price of ticket / number of tickets purchased

p = 80 / 4

Multiplying both sides by 4

4p = 80

Answer 2

A. 4p=80

Explanation:

Total Cost of 4 tickets=$80

Price=p

Quantity=4

Total cost=price×quantity

80=p×4

80=4p

80=4p is the equation that can be used to determine price

From the equation

80=4p

Divide both sides by 4

80/4=4p/4

20=p

Price is $20 per ticket
