A group of 12, 8th graders are planning a graduation trip to Knotts Berry Farm. If you pre-buy a ticket online, you get a $34 discount for each ticket. If the group paid a total of $660, how much does a ticket cost without the discount?

Respuesta :

Answer: Each ticket costs $89.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be x = ticket cost without the discount.

Given: Total 8th graders = 12

Discount = $34

Price of ticket after discount = x- 34

Total amount paid = $660

Total amount paid = (Price of ticket after discount) x (Total 8th graders )

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 660=(x-34)(12)[/tex]

Divide both sides by 12.

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 55=x-34[/tex]

Add 34 both sides , we get

[tex]\Rightarrow\ x= 55+34\Rightarrow\ x=89[/tex]

Hence, Each ticket costs $89.
