Question

The regular price of a child's entry ticket to a water park is $8 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 $194 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. :

194 = one-halfx + 2(x - 8)

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

$68

$76

$84

$105

Answer 1

B

Answer 2

194=1/2(x+ 4(x-8))

Answer 3

wich one and why

Answer 4

frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x + 2(x - 8) = 194

Lets distribute that 2 into the parenthesis

\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x + 2x - 16 = 194

Now combine like terms

\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }x -16 = 194

Add 16 to both sides

\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }x = 210

and finally multiply both sides by 2/5

x = 210 \times \frac{ 2 }{ 5 }

so what is 210 times 2? 420

and what is 420 divided by 5? 84

so it would be $84 dollars for an adults ticket....so since a child's ticket is $8 less than that we get

84 - 8 = 76

Answer 5

thanks cutie hahah

Answer 6

388=x+4x-32
388+32=5x
420=5x
x=420/5
x=84
84-8=76
