Question

Grace and her dad are planning to attend the state fair. An adult ticket is $15.00. The price of an adult ticket is one half the price of a student ticket plus $8.00. Write an equation to determine how much Grace will pay for a student ticket.

Answer 1

(1/2)x + 8 = 15

Explanation:

Answer 2

(15-8)x2=14

Explanation:

Since the student ticket adds 8 dollars at the end, it needs to be the first thing to be taken away from 15. Then, multiply that answer by 2, and you're all done!

Have a great day!
