Let's say the normal cost for an individual is 'x'.
According to the given information, the cost per person with the group package is $2 less than the normal cost, so it is x - $2.
There are 5 people in Hector's family, so the total cost for the family will be 5 * (x - $2).
We are given that the total cost for the family is $35, so we can set up the following equation:
5 * (x - $2) = $35
Simplifying the equation, we get:
5x - $10 = $35
Adding $10 to both sides, we get:
5x = $45
Dividing both sides by 5, we get:
x = $9
Therefore, the normal cost for an individual is $9.
