Let the amount of a ticket be ‘x’.
Price of 1st ticket = x
Price of 2nd ticket = x
Price of 3rd ticket = 40% of x = 0.04x (Since, 60% off, then price becomes 40%)
Then, amount of 3 tickets = x+x+0.04x
or, 180 = 2.04x
or x = 88.22

Answer:
$75
Step-by-step explanation:
x = full price
x + x +0.4x = 180
2x + 0.4x = 180
2.4x = 180 (divide bothe sides by 2.4)
x = 75
