Holly bought 23 tickets to the baseball game. She got a group rate that gave her $4 off of the regular ticket price for each ticket. The total cost was $184. What was the regular price for each ticket? Enter your answer in the box. $

Verified Answer :

Answer:

The regular price of the ticket was $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@ the regular price of the tickets, and if she had bought tickets at this price, the total cost would have been

@@MATH_TOKEN_1@@.

But Holly got $4 off the regular ticket price, that means one ticket cost her

\(P-4\)

and if she bought 23 tickets it cost her

\(23(P-4)\)

and we are told this equals $184; therefore we have

@@MATH_TOKEN_4@@

now we solve this equation the following way:

@@MATH_TOKEN_5@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_6@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_7@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_8@@

@@MATH_TOKEN_9@@

Thus, the regular price was $12.

Answer:

I got it wrong answering $12, my school said it was $10.

I have no idea how though, they didn't show me their equation.
