Let \( x \) be the regular price of a ticket. Since the tickets are on sale for $1.50 off the regular price, the sale price of a ticket is \( x - 1.50 \).
Dea buys 6 tickets, so the total cost she pays can be expressed as:
\[
6(x - 1.50)
\]
According to the problem, this total cost is $51. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
\[
6(x - 1.50) = 51
\]
Now, let's solve for \( x \).
1. Distribute the 6:
\[
6x - 9 = 51
\]
2. Add 9 to both sides:
\[
6x = 60
\]
3. Divide both sides by 6:
\[
x = 10
\]
Thus, the regular price of a ticket is **$10.00**.
