Hector paid $105 for 6 tickets to a hockey game. Each ticket cost the same amount. What was the cost of each ticket in dollars and cents?

Answer 1

To find the cost of each ticket, we need to divide the total amount paid by the number of tickets.

Hector paid $105 for 6 tickets.

We can calculate the cost of each ticket as follows:

\[ \text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{\text{Total Amount}}{\text{Number of Tickets}} = \frac{105}{6} \]

Now, performing the calculation:

\[ 105 \div 6 = 17.5 \]

Therefore, the cost of each ticket is $17.50.

In dollars and cents, the cost of each ticket is $17.50.
