Question

The cost for the one ticket to the concert was $
.

Answer 1

To find the cost of one ticket to the concert, we first need to determine how much was paid for just the tickets themselves, excluding the insurance cost.

1. Calculate the total insurance cost: Oksana and her three friends make a total of 4 people. The insurance cost is $15 per person. $$\text{Total insurance cost}=4\text{ people}\times 15\text{ dollars/person}=60\text{ dollars}$$

2. Subtract the total insurance cost from the total amount paid: The total amount paid for tickets and insurance is $540. $$\text{Total cost for tickets}=540\text{ dollars}-60\text{ dollars}=480\text{ dollars}$$

3. Calculate the cost of one ticket: Since the total cost for tickets is $480 and there are 4 people, we divide this amount by 4. $$\text{Cost of one ticket}=\frac{480\text{ dollars}}{4\text{ people}}=120\text{ dollars}$$

Thus, the cost for one ticket to the concert was $120.
