To find the best estimate for the price of each ticket, we can divide the total cost of the tickets by the number of students:
Total cost = $148.50
Number of students = 22
Now, we can calculate the cost per ticket:
\[
\text{Price per ticket} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of students}} = \frac{148.50}{22} \approx 6.75
\]
Now, we look at the options provided:
A) $5
B) $7
C) $10
D) $15
Since $6.75 is closest to $7, the best estimate for the price of each ticket is:
**B) $7**
Total cost = $148.50
Number of students = 22
Now, we can calculate the cost per ticket:
\[
\text{Price per ticket} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of students}} = \frac{148.50}{22} \approx 6.75
