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?
(2 points)
Let x be the price of admission.
The equation representing the situation is:
35x = 245
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 35:
35x/35 = 245/35
Simplifying the equation:
x = 7
Therefore, the price of admission is $7.
Let's represent the price of admission as "x". Since 35 people paid a total of $245, we can write the equation:
35x = 245
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 35:
35x/35 = 245/35
Simplifying, we get:
x = 7
Therefore, the price of admission is $7.
