Tickets to a baseball game are on sale for 1.50 off the regular price. Dea buys 6 tickets. If her total cost is $51.00, what is the price if each ticket? Write abd sole the equation of yhe form p(x + q) = r. Then write a sentence to explain your answer
Let's assume the regular price of each ticket is p.
Since the tickets are on sale for $1.50 off the regular price, the discounted price of each ticket is p - 1.50.
Dea buys 6 tickets, so the total cost of these tickets will be 6 * (p - 1.50).
The total cost of these tickets is given as $51.00, so we can set up the equation: 6 * (p - 1.50) = 51.00.
Now, we need to solve for p by simplifying the equation and isolating p.
6p - 9.00 = 51.00
6p = 51.00 + 9.00
6p = 60.00
p = 60.00 / 6
p = 10.00
The regular price of each ticket is $10.00.
The equation in the form p(x + q) = r is 6(p - 1.50) = 51.00, where p represents the regular price, 6 represents the number of tickets Dea buys, 1.50 represents the discount, and 51.00 represents the total cost.
