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?

Let t be the cost of each entrance ticket. The equation that can be used to find t is:

9t + 9(3) = 81
