Question

Anne wants to take her friends to a roller rink. The employee she spoke to ahead of time said the total cost for all 9 people in the group would be $81. This includes an entrance ticket and a $3 skate rental fee for each person.
If t represents the entrance ticket, explain what does this equation mean?
9(t + 3) = 81

How much is the entrance ticket?

Answer 1

Answer:

I think the answers should be 6

Answer 2

Answer:

the equation means the total cost of a ticket t and $3 skate rental for nine people is 81 dollars

entrance ticket costs $6

Step-by-step explanation:

solve the equation for t to get the ticket cost

9(t+3)=81

divide by 9 so t+3=9

minus 3 so t=6

that means the ticket costs 6 dollars

Hope this helps! :)
