Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that c will represent the cost of the tickets before the coupon

We can formulate an equation that looks something like this :

     720 + 40 = c x 8

     760 = c8

        95 = c

We can also look at it this way :

If each ticket costs $95 and Gabby gets 8 of them, it would look like this :

     95 each x 8 tickets = 760

If Gabby gets $5 off each of the 8 tickets, it would look like this :

     $5 off x 8 tickets = $40 off in total

We subtract 40 from 760 and well we get the total that she payed : $720

Therefore, each ticket costed $95 before the coupon

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3
