Question

A family buys 6 airline tickets online. The family buys travel insurance that costs ​$17 per ticket. The total cost is ​$1 comma 020. Let x represent the price of one ticket. Write an equation for the total cost. Then find the price of one ticket.

Answer 1

1020 = 6*(x+17)

x = 153

Explanation:

1020 = 6*(x+17)

1020 - total

6 - number of tickets

x - one ticket price

17 - insurance

1020 = 6x + 102

1020 - 102 = 6x

918 = 6x

x = 918/6

x = 153
