Question

A trip to the science and sports centers costs $38 per person. This price includes a $9 movie ticket and the entrance fees for both the science and sports centers. The cost of the entrance fees for each center are equal.
How much did entry to each center cost?

Answer 1

To find the answer we need to Subtract $9 from $38 and then divide it by 2 to find cost of 1 ticket of each center

$38 - 9 = 29$

Now divide it by 2 for cost of each center

$29 \div 2 = 14.5$

Thus, The cost of sports centre is $14.5 per person and cost of science center is also $14.5...~

Answer 2

Subtract the $9 from the total then divide by 2:

38-9 = 29

29/2 = 14.50

Answer: $14.50 each
