Okay so for Part A, we first need to come up with a variable. Lets have t=cost of 1 ticket. So you know that the company gained $810.75 by selling 15 tickets each costing $t. So if one ticket costs $t, then 15 tickets cost $15t, which is equal to $810.75.  SO now you can form an equation: 15t=810.75
