Question
Oksana and her three friends are heading to a concert. They paid $540 in total for the four tickets. This included insurance for $15 for each person. How much was the cost of one ticket to the concert?(1 point)
The cost for the one ticket to the concert was $
.

Answer 1

To find the cost of one ticket to the concert, we can start by determining the total amount spent on ticket insurance for the four people.

1. **Calculate total insurance cost:**
The insurance cost per person is $15 and there are 4 people, so:
\[
\text{Total insurance cost} = 4 \times 15 = 60
\]

2. **Determine the total cost for tickets alone:**
The total amount paid for the tickets and insurance is $540. Therefore, the cost spent on the tickets alone is:
\[
\text{Cost for tickets} = 540 - 60 = 480
\]

3. **Calculate the cost per ticket:**
Since this amount ($480) is for 4 tickets, the cost per ticket is:
\[
\text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{480}{4} = 120
\]

Thus, the cost for one ticket to the concert was **$120**.
