Myra and her scout troop are heading to the Zoomzilla zip-line course. They plan to purchase the group package, which will be $572 for 13 people. That's $4 less per person than the normal cost for an individual. How much is the normal cost for an individual?
$
Let x be the normal cost per person.
The group package costs 13 * (x - $4) = $572.
Therefore, 13 * x - 13 * $4 = $572.
Therefore, 13 * x = $572 + 13 * $4.
Therefore, 13 * x = $572 + $52.
Therefore, 13 * x = $624.
Therefore, x = $624 / 13 = $48.
The normal cost for an individual is $48. Answer: \boxed{48}.
To find the normal cost for an individual, we can divide the group package cost by the number of people in the group.
Group package cost: $572
Number of people: 13
Normal cost per person = Group package cost / Number of people
Normal cost per person = $572 / 13
Using division,
Normal cost per person ≈ $43.92
Therefore, the normal cost for an individual is approximately $43.92.
To find out the normal cost for an individual, we need to divide the total cost of the group package by the number of people in the group.
The total cost of the group package is $572.
The number of people in the group is 13.
We can set up an equation to represent this situation:
Group package cost = Individual cost × Number of people
$572 = Individual cost × 13
To solve for the individual cost, we can rearrange the equation:
Individual cost = $572 ÷ 13
Using a calculator, we can divide $572 by 13:
Individual cost = $44
Therefore, the normal cost for an individual is $44.
