a What equation can be used to model the total cost of the tickets?
6. What was the price of each ticket?
C. How much did Nicole pay in service charges?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let each ticket cost x

Answer for Part A

6x + 6% (6x) = 165.36 dollars.

Answer for Part B

6x + 6/100 * 6x = 165.36

6x + 36/100 x = 165.36

6x + 0.36 x = 165.36

6.36x = 165.36

x = 165.36/6.36

x = 26 dollars for each ticket.

Part C

Service charge = 165.36 - 6*26

Service charge = 165.36 - 156

Service charge = 9.36
