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 half x + 2(x − 9)

What is the regular price of a child's ticket? (5 points)


$60
$57
$51
$42

Answer 1

That equation is correct.
132 = 1/2x + 2(x - 9)

Solve for x to get the regular price of an adult ticket.
132 = 1/2x + 2x - 18
150 = 2.5 x
60 = x

Subtract 9 to get the regular price of a child's ticket.
