Let's denote the normal cost for an individual as \( x \).
Since the glacier group's package costs $76 for 8 people, the cost per person in the group package can be calculated as:
\[
\text{Cost per person in group package} = \frac{76}{8} = 9.50
\]
According to the information given, the group package cost per person is $2 less than the normal cost per person. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
\[
x - 2 = 9.50
\]
Now, solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 9.50 + 2
\]
\[
x = 11.50
\]
Thus, the normal cost for an individual is **$11.50**.
