Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We know:
5 tickets are purchased
Insurance = $17
Total = $945
x = price of 1 ticket
5x would be the total cost of the tickets, and $17 insurance is a one time charge, everything together equals $945, so our equation is:
5x + 17 = 945
Solve for x to find the price of each ticket.
5x + 17 = 945 Subtract 17 from each side
5x + 17 - 17 = 945 - 17
5x = 945 - 17
5x = 928 Divide each side by 5
5x/5 = 928/5
x = 928/5
x = $185.60
One ticket costs $185.60
