Question

The regular price of a child's entry ticket to a water park is $9 less than that for an adult's. The park offers half off of all entry tickets during the off-peak season. The Sandlers paid a total of $132 for 1 adult ticket and 4 child's tickets to the water park during the off-peak season. The following equation represents this situation, where x represents the regular price of an adult ticket.

132 = x + 2(x - 9)

What is the regular price of a child's ticket?

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

I think the equation given here does not go with the statement in the question. its says "The park offers half off of all entry tickets during the off-peak season." Now if it is so and x represents the regular price of an adult ticket then the equation should be
132=x/2+2(x-9)

Answer 10
