Let's assume the regular price of each ticket is p dollars.
Since each ticket is on sale for $1.50 off the regular price, the reduced price of each ticket is p - $1.50.
Dea buys 6 tickets, so her total cost is 6 times the reduced price of each ticket, which is 6(p - $1.50).
We are told that her total cost is $51, so we can write the equation:
6(p - $1.50) = $51
Now let's solve for p:
6p - 9 = $51
6p = $51 + $9
6p = $60
p = $60 / 6
p = $10
Therefore, the regular price of each ticket is $10.
Tickets to the baseball game are on sale for $1.50 off the regular price. Dea buys 6 tickets. If her total cost is $51, what is the regular price of each ticket? Write and solve an equation of the form p(x plus/minus q) = r Then write a sentence to explain your answer. (4 points)
