At the shaking rink, Sean and Patrick spent $17.45 on admission and snacks. They used one coupon for $2 off the admission. The snacks cost $5.95. What is the regular admission cost for one?
What you would do first is subtract $5.95 from $17.45
So: $17.45 - $5.95 = $11.50
Then you would subtract $2 from $11.50
So: $11.50 - $2 = $9.50
Then you would divide $9.50 by 2
So: $9.50 / 2 = $4.75
Therefore, $4.75 is the cost of one admission ticket.
Hope this helps!!(:
