Myra and her scout troop are heading to the Zoomzilla zip-line course. They plan to purchase the group package, which will be $572 for 13 people. That's $4 less per person than the normal cost for an individual. How much is the normal cost for an individual?

Question

$

Answer 1

Let x be the normal cost per person.
The group package costs 13 * (x - $4) = $572.
Therefore, 13 * x - 13 * $4 = $572.
Therefore, 13 * x = $572 + 13 * $4.
Therefore, 13 * x = $572 + $52.
Therefore, 13 * x = $624.
Therefore, x = $624 / 13 = $48.
The normal cost for an individual is $48. Answer: \boxed{48}.
