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)

Question

The cost for the one ticket to the concert was $

Answer 1

To find the cost of one ticket to the concert, we first need to determine how much of the total cost was attributed to the tickets themselves.

1. There are 4 people (Oksana and her 3 friends).

2. The cost for insurance for each person is $15, so for 4 people, the total insurance cost is:

   \[ 4 \times 15 = 60 \]

3. The total amount paid for tickets and insurance together is $540. To find the total cost of just the tickets, we subtract the total insurance cost from the total amount:

   \[ 540 - 60 = 480 \]

4. This means the total cost of the tickets for the 4 people is $480. To find the cost of one ticket, we divide the total ticket cost by the number of people:

   \[ \frac{480}{4} = 120 \]

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