Given the statement:
A family of 6 is going to the fair. They have a coupon for $1.50 off each ticket.
Determine the cost of each ticket if they pay $46.50 for all their tickets.
Solution:
We know that they bought 6 tickets in total, and in order to find the ticket cost, we must first know how much was reduced by the coupon. We can solve this by multiplying 6 with $1.50.
= (6)($1.50)
= $7.5
Now we add $7.5 to the total cost which is $46.50
= $46.50 + $7.5
= $54
Total Ticket Cost = $54
We can solve the individual ticket cost by dividing 54 with 6.
= 54/6
= $9
Final answer:
Each ticket cost $9
