Tisha and her scout troop are heading to the Swing Time zip-line park. They plan to purchase the group package. With the package, the cost per person is $5 less than the normal cost for an individual. There are 12 scouts in Tisha's troop. Her troop leader called ahead and found that the total cost for the group will be $150. What is the normal cost for an individual?
Let x be the normal cost for an individual.
The cost for the group is 12 * (x - 5) = $150.
Thus, 12x - 60 = $150.
Thus, 12x = $150 + $60 = $210.
Thus, the normal cost for an individual is x = $210 / 12 = $<<210/12=17.5>>17.5. Answer: \boxed{17.5}.
Let's assume the normal cost for an individual is "x" dollars.
According to the information given, the cost per person in the group package is $5 less than the normal cost for an individual. So, the cost per person in the group package is (x - $5).
Tisha's troop consists of 12 scouts, and the total cost for the group is $150.
We can set up the following equation to represent the total cost:
12 * (x - $5) = $150
Now, we can solve this equation to find the normal cost for an individual, "x".
12x - 60 = 150
12x = 150 + 60
12x = 210
x = 210 / 12
x ≈ 17.50
Therefore, the normal cost for an individual is approximately $17.50.
To find the normal cost for an individual, we can set up an equation based on the given information. Let's call the normal cost for an individual "n".
According to the problem, with the group package, the cost per person is $5 less than the normal cost for an individual. Therefore, the cost per person for Tisha's troop is "n - $5". Since there are 12 scouts in the troop, the total cost for the group will be 12 times the cost per person.
The equation to represent this situation is:
12(n - $5) = $150
Now, let's solve the equation to find the value of "n", which represents the normal cost for an individual.
12n - 12($5) = $150
12n - $60 = $150
12n = $150 + $60
12n = $210
n = $210 / 12
n = $17.50
Therefore, the normal cost for an individual at the Swing Time zip-line park is $17.50.
