Answer 1

Explanation:

This is a word problem involving percentages. To solve it, we need to follow these steps:

Identify the given information and the unknown quantity. In this problem, we are given that Natalie has $330 to spend at the amusement park, 5% is spent on games, 5/11 is for food and drinks, and she spends $13 on parking. The unknown quantity is the price of one ticket.

Write an equation that relates the given information and the unknown quantity. We can use the fact that the sum of all parts of the whole is 100%1. Let x be the price of one ticket. Then we have:

games+food and drinks+parking+tickets0.05×330+115​×330+13+2x​=total amount=330​

Solve the equation for the unknown quantity. We can simplify and rearrange the equation to get:

16.5+150+13+2x2x2xxx​=330=330−16.5−150−13=150.5=2150.5​=75.25​

Therefore, the price of one ticket is $75.25.
