Question

The Gilbert family bought airline tickets online. Each ticket cost $167. The Web site charged $19 per ticket, as well as a flat fee of $16. The Gilberts were charged a total of $1132. Write an equation and solve it to determine how many tickets the Gilberts purchased.

Answer 1

x - tickets
----------------------------------
167x + 19x + 16 = 1132
186x + 16 = 1132
186x = 1132 - 16
186x = 1116
x = 1116 : 186
x = 6 tickets (answer).
