Ms. Sue did you need help on that question? If it's a division problem i could help...the answer to that math problem is...1.50..DON'T BELIEVE ME? WRITE THE ANSWER DOWN AND TAKE IT TO SCHOOL AND SEE IF YOUR CORRECT..just saying!!
To find the cost of each ticket, we need to subtract the change Sally received from the total amount she paid.
First, we need to determine how much Sally paid in total. We know that she paid with a five-dollar bill, which is equivalent to $5. We also know that she received 50 cents as change.
To find the total amount Sally paid, we need to subtract the change from the five-dollar bill:
$5 - $0.50 = $4.50
Therefore, Sally paid a total of $4.50 for the three tickets.
To find the cost of each ticket, we divide the total paid by the number of tickets:
$4.50 รท 3 = $1.50
So, each ticket costs $1.50.
