You and 3 of your friends went to a zoo with a coupon for $10 off the total price of your tickets. If you paid a total of $17 for 4 tickets, how much would you (individually) have paid without the coupon?

You are making lemonade for your lemonade stand. Each liter of lemonade you make uses 3.5 tablespoons of lemonade powder, and you have 14 tablespoons of lemonade powder. Can you make 5 liters of lemonade?

To find out how much each person would have paid without the coupon, we will subtract the coupon amount from the total price and divide the result evenly among the four friends.

First, let's calculate the price of the tickets before applying the coupon. We know that the four friends paid a total of $17. Since the coupon provided a $10 discount, we can subtract that amount from the total price to find the original price of the tickets:

Total price before the coupon = Total price - Coupon amount
Total price before the coupon = $17 - $10
Total price before the coupon = $7

Now, let's determine how much each person would have paid individually without the coupon. Since there are four friends in total, we need to divide the total price before the coupon by 4:

Price per person without the coupon = Total price before the coupon / Number of friends
Price per person without the coupon = $7 / 4
Price per person without the coupon ≈ $1.75

Therefore, each person would have paid approximately $1.75 individually without the coupon.

17+10 = 27 total payment w/o coupon

so, how much for each of the 4 people?

27
