An arena charged 119.49 for 4 tickets. This price included a $9.49 service fee. What was the the cost of one ticket?

Answer 1

To solve this problem we can set up an equation.

First, we need to know how much the four tickets cost.

To fins this, we need to subtract the service fee.

$119.49-$9.49=$110

This means the four tickets combined cost $110.

Now we can set up an equation to find the cost of one ticket.

We know that if you multiply the number of tickets by the cost of one ticket you get the total cost.

This means we can set up the following equation:

4x=110 where x is the cost of one ticket

To solve, we divide both sides by 4 and get:

x=27.5

This means each ticket cost $27.50

Hope this helps!
