Question

Hayden brought 4 tickets to a football game. He paid 5% service charge for buying them from a broker. His total cost was $105.00. What was the price for each ticket, not including the service charge?

Answer 1

4x + 0.05(4x) = 105.00

x = $25

Answer 2

Answer: The price for each ticket is $525.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of tickets = 4

Total cost = $105.00

Rate of service charge = 5%

Let the original cost be 'x'.

According to question, we get that

`4x+0.05* 4x=105\\\\4x+0.2x=105\\\\4.2x=105\\\\x=(105)/(4.2)\\\\x=\$525`

Hence, the price for each ticket is $525.
