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
