Question

The cost of 54 tickets to a water park is $972. Each ticket costs the same amount. Which table or equation represents the relationship between the number of tickets, t and the total cost of the tickets, c?

​

Answer 1

The equation that represents the relationship between the number of tickets, t and the total cost of the tickets, c is:

c = t * x

where x is the cost of each ticket.

To find x, we can divide the total cost of $972 by the number of tickets, which is 54:

x = c/t
x = $972/54
x = $18

So the equation becomes:

c = 18t

This equation represents the linear relationship between the number of tickets and the total cost of the tickets.
