Jackie went on a trip to New York City and spent a total of $200 going to the theater. She purchased 4 student tickets for Broadway plays that cost $25 each and 5 discount tickets. How much did each discount ticket cost?

Respuesta :

Answer: The cost of each discount ticket = $20


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total money Jackie spent in all = $ 200

The cost of student tickets = $25

Therefore, the cost of 4 student tickets =  [tex]4\times\$25=\$100[/tex]

Now, the cost of 5 discount tickets = [tex]\$200-\$100=\$100[/tex]

Thus, the cost of 5 discount tickets= $100

Now, the cost of each discount ticket = [tex]\frac{100}{5}=\$20[/tex]
