Given the statement:
A family paid $142.80 which included $6.80 in taxes for 4 play tickets each ticket costs the same amount
Determine how much did each person's ticket cost before the taxes.
Solution:
Multiply 4 by 6.80 then subtract the product to 142.80
= (4)($6.80)
= $27.2
= $142.80 - $27.2
= $115.6
Divide the 115.6 by 4 to determine the cost of each ticket.
= $115.6/4
= $28.9
Final answer:
Each ticket cost $28.9
