Option C : $6.50 is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Price of one discounted ticket = $4.00

Total amount spent on discounted tickets = $60.00

So,

[tex]Total\ tickets = \frac[Total\ price}{Price\ of\ one\ ticket}\\=\frac{60}{4}\\= 15\ tickets[/tex]

Hence he bought 15 tickets

Now,

If he had bought without discount he would have paid $37.50 so

Total price without discount will be: $60.00 + $37.50 = $97.50

So,

Price of one ticket before discount:

[tex]\frac{Total\ price\ without\ discount}{Total\ tickets}\\=\frac{97.50}{15}\\=6.5\ dollars[/tex]

Hence,

Option C : $6.50 is the right answer
