<span>194 = 1/2x + 2(x - 8)
194 = 1/2x + 2x - 16 = 5/2x - 16
5/2x = 194 + 16 = 210
5x = 210 x 2 = 420
x = 420/5 = 84
Therefore, the regular price of a child's ticket is $84 - $8 = $76.

Answer:
$20.15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Original cost = $9.57
Markup= 95%
Let us find the new cost of the basket
=95/100*9.57
=0.95*9.57
=$9.0915
Hence the cost of the basket is
= 9.57+9.0915
=18.66
Also, the sales tax is 8%
=8/100*18.66
=0.08*18.66
=1.4928
Therefore, the total amount to be paid is
=18.66+1.4928
=$20.15
You will flip the signs when you have to multiply or divide your equation by a negative integer.
