Part B: Solve your equation in Part A to find the price of each floor seat ticket. How do you know your solution is correct? (5 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation:                   25x = 870.75

Price of each ticket:  $34.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

Let the cost of the ticket is x.

25 tickets cost $870.75

Then the required equation is:

25x = 870.75

Part B

Solve the equation:

25x = 870.75

x = 870.75/25

x = 34.83

Check if the answer is correct:

34.83*25 = 870.75

870.75 = 870.75

Answer 2

Answer:

870.25 -> 25

? -> 1

X = 870.25 * 1 / 25

Whatever the result is the cost of one ticket.
