Oksana and her three friends are heading to a concert. They paid $540 in total for tickets. This included insurance for $15 for each person. How much was the cost of one ticket to the concert?(1 point) The cost for the one ticket to the concert was $.

Answer 1

First, we need to determine how much the total cost of the tickets was without the insurance.

1. There are 4 people (Oksana and her three friends), and each paid for insurance costing $15. So, we calculate the total insurance cost: \[ \text{Total insurance} = 4 \times 15 = 60 \text{ dollars} \]

2. The total amount paid for tickets including insurance was $540. To find out the total cost of the tickets themselves, we subtract the total insurance cost from the total: \[ \text{Total ticket cost} = 540 - 60 = 480 \text{ dollars} \]

3. Now, we need to find out how much one ticket costs. Since there are 4 people, we divide the total ticket cost by the number of people: \[ \text{Cost of one ticket} = \frac{480}{4} = 120 \text{ dollars} \]

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