Question
Maria paid $48 for herself and two of her friends to go to a concert. The tickets are all the same price.
What equation could be used to find the price of one ticket?
$48 = 3 p
p = $48 - 3
3 = $48 p
p = 3 · $48
What equation could be used to find the price of one ticket?
$48 = 3 p
p = $48 - 3
3 = $48 p
p = 3 · $48

To find the price of one ticket, we can define the price of a single ticket as \( p \). Since Maria is buying tickets for herself and two friends, the total number of tickets is 3.
The equation that represents the relationship between the total cost and the number of tickets is:
\[ 48 = 3p \]
This equation states that the total cost of the tickets ($48) is equal to the number of tickets (3) multiplied by the price of one ticket (p).
So, the correct equation to use for finding the price of one ticket is:
\[ 48 = 3p \]
To find \( p \), you can then solve the equation by dividing both sides by 3:
\[ p = \frac{48}{3} = 16 \]
Thus, each ticket costs $16.
