Question

To order tickets online to a hockey game, there is a processing fee plus the cost per ticket. The cost for 5 tickets is $174.45. The cost for 8 tickets is $271.95. Write and solve a linear equation to find the total cost to order 12 tickets.

Answer 1

Answer:

(34.89 x 6) + (33.99 x 6) = 413.28

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the unit rate of each ticket if the deal is 5 tickets. 174.45 ÷ 5 = 34.89

2. Find the unit rate of each ticket if the deal is 8 tickets. 271.95 ÷ 8 = 33.99

3. Now that we know our unit rates for the different deals, generate your    equation.
