1 answer

To find the cost of one ticket to the concert, we first need to determine the total amount spent on insurance and how much was left for the concert tickets.

  1. Calculate the total insurance cost for Oksana and her three friends:

    • There are 4 people (Oksana + 3 friends).
    • Insurance per person = $15
    • Total insurance = 4 people × $15/person = $60
  2. Subtract the total insurance cost from the total amount paid for tickets:

    • Total amount paid for tickets = $540
    • Total cost after insurance = $540 - $60 = $480
  3. Now, divide the total cost after insurance by the number of tickets (4):

    • Cost per ticket = $480 / 4 = $120

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