Tickets to the baseball game are on sale for $1.50 off the regular price. Dea buys 6 tickets. If her total cost is $51, what is the regular price of each ticket? Write and solve an equation then write a sentence to explain your answer
Wrong again, missed such an easy question
regular price --- x
discounted price = x - 1.5
She bought 6 at that price for $51
6(x - 1.5) = 51
6x - 9 = 51
6x = 60
x = 10
regular price is $10.00
check:
new price = 8.50
6(8.50) = 51
Equation: 6x - 6(1.50) = 51
6x = 57.50
x = 9.58
The regular price of each ticket is $9.58.
