Since we don't know how much Eric makes per dog, let's let <em>x </em>represent that value. Let's also let <em>y</em> represent our answer.
First, let's consider the two numbers we KNOW will be in the equation. The 56 that Eric made dog sitting and the 168 he made in total on Tuesday. Now, we're going to need to use subtraction and division in this equation.
(168 - 45) ÷ <em>x</em> = <em>y</em>
Hope this answer helped you out. :)

Find the ticket unit cost: divide the total paid, $324, by the number of tickets, x. Then the form of the unit cost is
$324
--------- .
x
This question is highly unusual in that you write "x" as the number of tickets sold, instead of a specific number of tickets. Supposing that you'd sold 100 tickets for $324, then the unit cost would be, much more typically, a numeric ratio:
$324
----------------- = $3.24/ticket
100 tickets
