Answer 2

Ok so ummmm, let's see..

Answer 3

She spent 610 on everything.
So we'll set 610 equal to all of the little pieces.

She spent the same amount on each ticket.
Let's call that amount \(\Large x\).
If we bought 4 tickets, then the amount spent on tickets would be \(\Large 4x\).

Answer 4

She also spent $18 to park.

So altogether she spent $610, on the stuff we listed above.
So we can setup the relationship like this:\[\Large 610\quad=\quad 4x+18\]610 dollars equals 4 tickets + 18 for parking.
So from here we want to solve for x, the price of each ticket.
