Question

The New England Revolutions are having a charity soccer event for which tickets cost $18 per person. However, the ticket agency adds a fixed fee to every order so a person who orders 5 tickets pays $93.

Answer 1

Let as consider, we need to find the fixed fee.

Given:

Cost of each ticket = $18

Number of tickets = 5

Total cost = $93

To find:

The fixed fee.

Solution:

Let x be the fixed fee..

Cost of 1 ticket = $18

Cost of 5 ticket = $(5 × 18)

                         = $90

Total cost 5 tickets = Fixed fee + Cost of 5 tickets

$93=x+90$

$93-90=x$

$3=x$

Therefore, the fixed fee is $3.
