The regular price of a child's entry ticket to a water park is $8 less than that for an adult's. The park offers half off of all

entry tickets during the off-peak season. The Sandlers paid a total of $194 for 1 adult ticket and 4 child's tickets to the water park during the off-peak season. The following equation represents this situation, where x represents the regular price of an adult ticket.
194 = 1/2x + 2(x - 8)

What is the regular price of a child's ticket?

$68

$76

$84

$89

<span>194 = 1/2x + 2(x - 8)
194 = 1/2x + 2x - 16 = 5/2x - 16
5/2x = 194 + 16 = 210
5x = 210 x 2 = 420
x = 420/5 = 84

Therefore, the regular price of a child's ticket is $84 - $8 = $76.
