Question

WILL FAN AND MEDAL
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 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 = one-halfx + 2(x - 9)

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

$60

$57

$51

$42

Answer 1

1/2(x+4(x-9)=132
1/2(x+4x-36)=132
x+4x-36=264
5x=300
x=60
60-9=51
