Question Sarah bought 4 tickets to a concert. The cost of the tickets and tax were $72.27. Sarah bought the tickets in Washington where sales tax is 9.5%. How much was each ticket to the concert?
+27 Let t= ticket price. There are 4 tickets, which means 4t is the price without tax. With tax, this is multiplied by 1.095. So, we get 1.095(4t)=72.27. Divide both sides by 1.095⋅4 to get that each ticket is worth $16.50.
hope this helped
