Answer 1

To find the cost of one ticket to the concert, we'll start by determining the total amount spent on insurance and then subtract that from the total cost.

1. Total cost for tickets: $540
2. Number of people: Oksana and her three friends means there are 4 people in total.
3. Insurance cost per person: $15

Total insurance cost: \[ \text{Total insurance} = \text{Number of people} \times \text{Insurance cost per person} = 4 \times 15 = 60 \]

Total ticket cost: \[ \text{Total ticket cost} = \text{Total cost} - \text{Total insurance} = 540 - 60 = 480 \]

Cost of one ticket: \[ \text{Cost of one ticket} = \frac{\text{Total ticket cost}}{\text{Number of people}} = \frac{480}{4} = 120 \]

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