Question

The next day, another group spent a total of $61. Each person in this group paid for general admission, and one person bought a special exhibit ticket. How many people were in this group?

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the full question :

This sign shows admission fees and ticket prices for a museum :

General Admission: $18

Tickets to Special Exhibits $7

Tickets to Movies $6

Note: Tickets to the Special Exhibit and the Movie are in addition to the General Admission fee

The next day, another group spent a total of $61. Each person in this group paid for general admission, and one person bought a special exhibit ticket. How many people were in this group?

If only one person bought a special exhibit ticket, the amount spent on general admission = 61 - 7 = $54

Since everyone would have to pay the general admission ticket, we can determine the number of people in the group

number of people in the group = total amount spent on general admission / price of general admission per person

= $54 / $18 = 3
