Denny bought tickets to the circus. He bought 3 child tickets. The child tickets were $5 less than the adult tickets. He spent $45 total. Which equation can be used to find the price of an adult ticket, t?(1
Let's assume the price of an adult ticket is t.
Since Denny bought 3 child tickets, the cost of the child tickets would be 3(t-5) = 3(t-5) = 3t-15.
The total amount spent on tickets is $45, so the equation would be: 3(t-5) + t = 45
