Answer:
The parking fee paid by each friend = $5
Step-by-step explanation:
The given question here seems INCOMPLETE.
Emily and a friend bought two tickets to see a soccer game. Each ticket cost $8.75. The friends paid a total of $27.50, which included a fee per ticket for parking near the stadium.
a) How much did each friend pay for the parking fee?
Now, here the cost of each ticket = $8.75
SO, the cost of 2 tickets = 2 x ( Cost of 1 ticket) = 2 x ($8.75) = $17.5
Let us assume the parking fee paid in total = $ a
Now, total amount paid by both friends = $27.50
⇒ The cost of 2 tickets + Parking Fee = $27.50
or, $17.50 + a = $27.50
⇒ a = 27.50 - 17 .50 = 10
or, a = 10
Hence, the total cost of parking fee = a = $10
So the parking fee paid by each friend = $10 / 2 = $5
