Go-Carts You and three of your friends are going to race go-carts. The last time you
went, you had a coupon for $3 off each admission and paid $48 for the 4 admissions.
What was the total price without the coupon? You pay the regular price this time and
share it equally. How much does each person pay
isk
To find the total price without the coupon, we can first calculate the price you paid with the coupon.
Since you paid $48 for the four admissions, and there was a $3 discount for each admission, the discounted price per admission is $48 / 4 = $12.
Now, to find the total price without the coupon, we need to account for the $3 discount for each admission. If we assume the regular price of each admission is x, then the equation becomes:
4x - (3 * 4) = 48
Simplifying the equation, we have:
4x - 12 = 48
Add 12 to both sides of the equation:
4x = 48 + 12
4x = 60
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x:
x = 60 / 4
x = 15
Therefore, the regular price per admission without the coupon is $15.
Since you will be sharing the regular price equally with your three friends, each person will pay $15 / 4 = $3.75.
4(x-3) = 48
Solve for x to get regular price, which is what each person pays the second time.
