Write and solve an equation that represents the following situation
35 people paid a total of 245 for admission to a local soccer game. What is the price of admission.
Please help im stuck.
I get $7.
245÷35=7
An equation:
35x = 245
To solve this problem, we can represent the situation with the equation:
35x = 245
In this equation, x represents the price of admission. Multiplying the price of admission by the number of people (35) should give us the total amount paid (245).
Now, to solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 35:
35x / 35 = 245 / 35
x = 7
Therefore, the price of admission is $7.
