Answer 1

Answer:

$7.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount spent on the ticket   = $40.75

Number of ticket purchased  = 5

Processing fee per ticket  = $0.90

Unknown:

Cost of each ticket = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to find the processing fee for the 5 tickets purchase;

      Processing fee = number ticket x processing fee per ticket

      Processing fee  = 5 x 0.9  = $4.5

Now, the real cost a ticket = $40.75  - $4.5  = $36.25

So, cost per ticket is;

        Cost  = $\frac{36.25}{5}$   = $7.25
