Grace and her dad are planning to attend the state fair. An adult ticket is $15.00. The price of an adult ticket is one half the price of a student ticket plus $8.00. Write an equation to determine how much Grace will pay for a student ticket.
Since the student ticket adds 8 dollars at the end, it needs to be the first thing to be taken away from 15. Then, multiply that answer by 2, and you're all done!
