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. $
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.
