Question

Elise and her dad are planning to attend the state fair. An adult ticket is $21.00. The price of an adult ticket is $10.00 more than two thirds the price of a student ticket. Write an equation to determine how much Elise will pay for a student ticket. A)two thirdsx + 21 = 10 B)two thirdsx − 21 = 10 C)two thirdsx + 10 = 21 D)two thirdsx − 10 = 21

Answer 1

Answer:

C. two thirds x + 10 = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Price of adult ticket = $21.00

Let x be the price of student ticket

Then

two third of the student ticket will be:

$\frac{2}{3} x$

The statement $10.00 more than two third of student ticket:

$\frac{2}{3} x+10$

As we are given in the question that the adult ticket price is $21.00 and the second explanation is th equation formed by the given statement

So, both will be equivalent

$\frac{2}{3} x+10 = 21$

Solving this equation for x will give us the price for the student ticket.

Hence,

C. two thirdsx + 10 = 21 is the correct answer ..
