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 the total cost of the tickets without insurance.

1. **Calculate the total insurance cost**:
There are 4 people (Oksana and her 3 friends), and each person paid $15 for insurance.
\[
\text{Total insurance cost} = 4 \text{ people} \times 15 \text{ dollars/person} = 60 \text{ dollars}
\]

2. **Calculate the total cost of the tickets**:
The total cost paid for tickets and insurance was $540. Therefore, the total cost of the tickets is:
\[
\text{Total cost of tickets} = \text{Total cost} - \text{Total insurance cost} = 540 \text{ dollars} - 60 \text{ dollars} = 480 \text{ dollars}
\]

3. **Calculate the cost of one ticket**:
Since there are 4 people, we divide the total cost of the tickets by 4:
\[
\text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{\text{Total cost of tickets}}{4 \text{ people}} = \frac{480 \text{ dollars}}{4} = 120 \text{ dollars}
\]

Therefore, the cost of one ticket to the concert was **$120**.
