Question

Winston and his friends are heading to the Yeti Trails snow park. They plan to purchase the Yeti group package, which costs $54 for 6 people. That's $3 less per person than the normal cost for an individual.
Which equation can you use to find the normal cost, x, for an individual?

Answer 1

The per-person group price is 54 ÷ 6 = 9. Since that's $3 less than the normal cost x, use
54/6 = x − 3.

Solving: 9 = x − 3 → x = 12. The normal cost is $12.
