Question

The regular price of a child's entry ticket to a water park is $6 less than that for an adult's. The park offers half off of all entry tickets during the off-peak season. The Jordans paid a total of $69 for 2 adult tickets and 1 child's ticket 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.

69 = x + one-half(x - 6)

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

$38

$42

$48
