Answer:

$24.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that 3 child tickets are $18.50 each, let's find out the total price of the child tickets.

18.50 x 3 = $55.50

Since we don't know the cost of each of the adult tickets, let's call it x.

Now let's make an equation!

55.50 + 2x = 104.50

Now we have to isolate x in order to find out the price of each adult ticket.

Let's subtract 55.50 on both sides

2x = 49

Now let's divide 2 on both sides.

x = $24.50

So the price of an adult ticket is $24.50

CHECK:    

55.50 times 2 (24.50) = 104.50

Answer:

Your answer will be $[tex]$24.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since for [tex]3[/tex] children tickets cost $[tex]18.50[/tex] we will have to multiply $[tex]18.50[/tex] by 3.

[tex]3[/tex] x $[tex]18.50[/tex] = $[tex]55.50[/tex]

Now that we completed this step let's continue to the next part.

Since, we don't know the price of the adult tickets will will call it [tex]x[/tex] for now.

This time we will be using [tex]2x[/tex] to solve this equation.

[tex]2x[/tex] refers to x is "twice a number"

$[tex]55.50+2x=[/tex] $[tex]104.50[/tex]

Now we should subtract $[tex]55.50[/tex] on both of the sides.

We will result in getting [tex]2x=49.[/tex]

Our next step will be to divide [tex]2[/tex] on both of the sides.

We will result in getting [tex]x=[/tex] $[tex]$24.50[/tex]

Therefore, the price of the adult tickets is $24.50 each.
