Ms. Chapman wants to take her scout troop to Neon Nights roller rink. The employee she spoke to ahead of time said the total cost for all 9 people in the group would be $81. This includes an entrance ticket and a $3 skate rental fee for each person.
Which equation can you use to find t, the cost of each entrance ticket?
How much does each entrance ticket cost?
The equation to find the cost of each entrance ticket is:
9t + 9(3) = 81
Where t represents the cost of each entrance ticket.
To solve for t, we can simplify the equation:
9t + 27 = 81
Subtracting 27 from both sides:
9t = 54
Dividing both sides by 9:
t = 6
Therefore, each entrance ticket costs $6.
