A) Oksana and her three friends are heading to a concert. They paid $540 in total for tickets. This

included insurance for $15 for each person. How much was the cost of one ticket to the concert? (1 point)

1 answer

To find the cost of one ticket to the concert, we first need to determine the total amount paid for the tickets without the insurance.

There are 4 people attending the concert (Oksana and her 3 friends), and each paid $15 for insurance. So the total cost of insurance is:

\[ 4 \times 15 = 60 \]

Now, we subtract the total insurance cost from the total amount paid for the tickets:

\[ 540 - 60 = 480 \]

This $480 represents the total cost for the concert tickets. Since there are 4 people, we now divide the total cost of the tickets by the number of people to find the cost of one ticket:

\[ \frac{480}{4} = 120 \]

Thus, the cost of one ticket to the concert is $120.
