Ms. Chapman wants to take her scout troop to Neon Nights roller rink. The employee she spoke to ahead of time said the total cost for all 9 people in the group would be $81. This includes an entrance ticket and a $3 skate rental fee for each person.

Which equation can you use to find t, the cost of each entrance ticket?
How much does each entrance ticket cost?

1 answer

The equation to find the cost of each entrance ticket is:

9t + 9(3) = 81

Where t represents the cost of each entrance ticket.

To solve for t, we can simplify the equation:

9t + 27 = 81

Subtracting 27 from both sides:

9t = 54

Dividing both sides by 9:

t = 6

Therefore, each entrance ticket costs $6.
