Answer 1

Answer:

The equation that represents the situation is:  $\mathbf{850=5(x+19)}$

Option D is correct option.

The price of one ticket = $151

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of tickets = 5

Cost of insurance per ticket = $19

Total Cost of tickets = $850

Let:

Cost of one ticket = x

Total cost of one ticket will be cost of ticket plus insurance i.e. x+19

Now, family bought 5 tickets so, total cost of 5 tickets will be:

$\mathbf{850=5(x+19)}$

Therefore, the equation that represents the situation is:  $\mathbf{850=5(x+19)}$

Option D is correct option.

Now, solving the equation to find price of one ticket i.e value of x

$850=5(x+19)\\850=5x+95\\Switching\:sides\\5x+95=850\\5x=850-95\\5x=755\\Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:5\\\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{755}{5}\\x=151$

So, we get the value of x = 151

So, The price of one ticket = $151
