Martin has 4 tickets to ice fantasy with the stars. they cost him $15.75 each, plus $3.50 in handling per ticket, and $9.50 in shipping. what was the total cost of the tickets? 86.50 79.50 70.00 99.50

Each ticket cost $15.75, and each ticket paid $3.50 handling,
so each ticket cost $15.75 + $3.50 = $19.25.

There are 4 tickets, so the 4 tickets including handling
cost 4 * $19.25 = $77.00

The shipping fee is a single fee for all the tickets,
so you just add $9.50 to $77.
The total cost is $77.00 + $9.50 = $86.50

The answer is 49/16 or 3 1/16
