Answer:
Each ticket is $43.20
Explanation:
If there are five family members, and the meals are $.6.50 each, we will multiply $6.50 by 5.
$6.50 × 5= $32.5
Now we subtract the meals from the total of $248.50.
$248.50 - $32.5= $216
All five tickets cost $216, now we divide this by 5 since five tickets were bought.
= $43. 2
Each ticket was $43.20
Let's double-check:
$32.5 + $43.20(5)= $32.5 + $216= $248.50
