The price of each ticket will be the slope found from the data.  

Slope=m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(177.5-146.25)/(18-13)

m=6.25  (so the cost of the tickets is $6.25)

Now we can use any data point to solve for b, or the y-intercept of the line:

y=6.25x+b, using (177.5, 18)

177.5=6.25(18)+b

b=$65.00d

So he started with $65.00
