Question

A family buys airline tickets online. Each ticket costs $208. The family buys travel

insurance with each ticket that costs $16 per ticket. The web site charges a fee of
$22 for the entire purchase. The family is charged a total of $1142. How many
tickets did the family buy

Answer 1

5 tickets

Explanation:

Each ticket costs $224 including the travel insurance and they are charged $22 regardless of the number of tickets they buy.

Therefore, the equation is 224x + 22 = 1142

First, you have to subtract the 22 from both sides to amount to 224x = 1120

Now, you divide 224 from 1120 to get 5

The family bought 5 tickets.

Answer 2

the family brought 2271 tickets.
