Jack paid $13.50 for administration to the country fair and bought nine tickets to play games. If he spent a total of $36 what is the cost c of one. Ticket write and solve an equation

(36-13.50)/5 = 4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to amount spent on the tickets. To get this, we need to subtract the total amount spent by the amount paid for administration.

36 - 13.50 = 22.50

We then need to find out how much was spent per ticket. To do that, we need to divide the amount left by the number of tickets bought. Since there were 5 tickets bought, divide the new amount, 13.50, by 5.

23.50/5 = 4.50

Each ticket cost $4.50.

To check your work, multiply 2.50 by 5, then add 13.50 to the amount.

4.50x5 = 22.50

22.50 + 13.50 = 36

correct
