+580 Equation:
25x=870.75
A.
We can let the cost of each ticket be x.
There were about 25 tickets sold, which gives us 25x.
We know that 25 tickets were sold for a total of 870.75$$$
That gives us the equation: 25x=870.75
B.
25x=870.75
x= 870.75/25
x = $34.83 per ticket
I know my solution is right because I am smart...
Nah...jk, I know its right because I substituted the price of each ticket back into the original equation:
25(34.83)=870.75
Since the above equation is true, I know each ticket it work $34.83.
