Answer:
The equation is 1/2 x + 8 = 15 ⇒ answer A
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain how to solve the question
- Grace and her dad are planning to attend the state fair
- The price of an adult ticket is $15
- The price of the adult ticket is one half the price of the student ticket
plus $8
- Assume that the price of the student ticket is x
∵ The price of the student ticket is x
∵ The price of the adult ticket is half the price of the student ticket
x plus 8
- lets multiply half by x and then add the result by 8
∴ The price of the adult ticket = 1/2 x + 8
∵ The price of the adult ticket is $15
- Equate the expression of the price of the adult ticket by the price of
the adult ticket
∴ 1/2 x + 8 = 15
* The equation to determine how much Grace will pay for a student
ticket is 1/2 x + 8 = 15
∴ The answer is choice A
