.

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**.
