Answer 1

Answer:

$\ 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: for Carolina's birthday her mom took her and her for friends to the water park Carolina's mom paid $\ 40$ for $5$ student tickets.

To Find: price for one student ticket.

Solution:

Total number of student tickets bought by carolina's mom $=5$

Total amount paid by carolina's mom for student tickets $=\ 40$

Now,

To determine cost of one student ticket we will divide total amount into $5$ equal parts.

cost of one student ticket     $=\frac{\text{total amount paid}}{\text{Total number of student ticket}}$

putting values

                                               $\frac{40}{5}$

                                               $\ 8$

Hence cost of one student ticket is $\ 8$

Answer 2

That would be 40 divided by 5. So the price for one student ticket was $8.
