Question

The regular price of a child's entry ticket to a water park is $6 less than that for an adult's. The park offers half off all entry tickets during the off-peak season. The Sandlers paid a total of $78 for 1 adult ticket and 2 child's tickets to the water park during the off-peak season. The following equation represents this situation, where x represents the regular price of an adult ticket:

78 = 1/2x + (x − 6)

What is the regular price of a child's ticket?

$50
$56
$75
$81

Answer 1

2[78 = x/2 + x - 6] 
156 = x + 2x - 12 
156 = 3x - 12 
3x = 156 + 12 
3x = 168 
x = 56 

Answer 2
