Answer:

\large \boxed{\$9.00}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = the original price of the ticket

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{ Price before discount - discount} & = & \text{sale price}\\p - 0.15p & = & 7.65\\0.85p & = & 7.65\\p & = & \dfrac{7.65 }{0.85}\\\\& = & \mathbf{9.00}\\\end{array}\\\text{The original price of the ticket was $\large \boxed{\mathbf{\$9.00}}$}

Check:

\begin{array}{rcl}9.00 - 0.15(9.00) & = & 7.65\\9.00 - 1.35 & = & 7.65\\7.65 & = & 7.65\\\end{array}

OK.

In synthetic division, you start by bringing down the first 1 in the box.  Multiply that by the 1 outside the box and get a 1.  Put that new 1 under the 2 inside the box and add to get 3.  Multiply the  outside the box by that 3 to get 3 and put that new 3 under the -3 in the box and add to get 0.  Multiply that 0 by the 1 outside the box to get 0.  Put that 0 under the 2 and add to get the remainder of 2.  Your answer is 2, C.
