Answer 2

Answer:

Regular price  of the ticket is $80 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Heather and her family are going to the grand opening of a new amusement park.

There is a special price on tickets this weekend.

Tickets cost $56 each.

This is 70% of the cost of a regular price ticket.

70% is written in the decimal form

$= \frac{70}{100}$

= 0.70

Let us assume that the cost of the regular ticket be x .

Than the equation becomes

0.70 × x = 56

0.70x = 56

$x = \frac{56}{0.70}$

$x = \frac{5600}{70}$

x = 80

Therefore the regular price  of the ticket is $80 .
