Question

Elise and her dad are planning to attend the state fair. An adult ticket is $21.00. The price of an adult ticket is $10.00 more than  the price of a student ticket. Write an equation to determine how much Elise will pay for a student ticket.

 x + 21 = 10 x − 21 = 10 x + 10 = 21 x − 10 = 21

Answer 1

The price of an adult ticket is $10.00 more than two thirds the price of a student ticket"

Let price of student ticket be x.

$21 = $10 + (2/3)x

$10 = (2/3)x

$15 = x

Answer 2

Price of Student ticket: x

Price of Adult ticket: $21

"10 more" means +10

The price of an adult ticket is 10 more than the price of a student ticket.

21 = x + 10

x + 10 = 21

x = 21 -10

x = 11

Equation: x + 10 = 21

Price of student ticket: x = $11
