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.
total paid is #people * ticketprice, right?
So, let p = ticket price, and
plug in your numbers, and the product = 245
To solve this problem, we can set up the equation:
35 * x = 245
where x represents the price of admission.
To find the value of x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 35:
35x / 35 = 245 / 35
Simplifying this equation gives us:
x = 7
Therefore, the price of admission to the local soccer game is $7.
To solve this problem, we can set up an equation. Let's represent the price of admission with the variable "x". Since 35 people paid a total of 245, we can write:
35x = 245
To solve for x (the price of admission), we need to isolate the variable. Divide both sides of the equation by 35:
35x/35 = 245/35
This simplifies to:
x = 7
Therefore, the price of admission is $7.
