Answer 1

To find the cost of one ticket to the concert, we first need to calculate how much was spent on insurance and then determine how much was spent on the tickets themselves.

1. Calculate the total insurance cost: Since there are 4 people (Oksana and her three friends), and each paid $15 for insurance:

   \[ \text{Total insurance cost} = 4 \text{ people} \times 15 \text{ dollars/person} = 60 \text{ dollars} \]

2. Determine the total cost for the tickets: The total amount spent for tickets and insurance is $540. Now we subtract the insurance cost from this total:

   \[ \text{Total cost for tickets} = \text{Total amount paid} - \text{Total insurance cost} = 540 \text{ dollars} - 60 \text{ dollars} = 480 \text{ dollars} \]

3. Calculate the cost of one ticket: Since there are 4 people, we divide the total ticket cost by the number of people to find the cost of one ticket:

   \[ \text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{\text{Total cost for tickets}}{4 \text{ people}} = \frac{480 \text{ dollars}}{4} = 120 \text{ dollars} \]

Therefore, the cost for one ticket to the concert was $120.
