1 answer

1) Let's define the variable as the cost of one regular ticket as "x".

2) The clue words "total bill" and "coupon for $20 off" indicate that the total bill after the discount is $100. So, the equation will be:
x - $20 (coupon) = $100 (total bill)

3) To solve the equation for the variable "x", we need to isolate it:
x - $20 = $100
x = $100 + $20
x = $120

Therefore, the cost of one regular ticket is $120.
