Question

To order tickets for a show, there is a $5.00 service fee, plus the cost of the tickets. If the cost of the whole order is $105.00, and 8 tickets were ordered, how much does each ticket cost?

Answer 1

The cost of each tickets is $12.5

Answer 2

Amount of service fee = $5
Cost of the whole order = $105
Number of tickets ordered = 8
Cost of the 8 tickets without service cost = 105 - 5
= 100 dollars
Then
Cost of 1 ticket without service tax = 100/8
= 12.5 dollars
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the cost of each ticket without service tax would be $12.5.
