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

Let's break down the problem step by step.

1. Oksana and her three friends mean there are 4 people in total.

2. Each person paid $15 for insurance, so the total cost for insurance can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Total insurance cost} = 4 \text{ people} \times 15 \text{ dollars/person} = 60 \text{ dollars} \]

3. The total amount paid for the tickets, including insurance, was $540.

4. To find the total cost of the tickets, we subtract the total insurance cost from the total amount paid: \[ \text{Total ticket cost} = 540 \text{ dollars} - 60 \text{ dollars} = 480 \text{ dollars} \]

5. Since there are 4 tickets (one for each person), we can find the cost of one ticket by dividing the total ticket cost by the number of tickets: \[ \text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{480 \text{ dollars}}{4 \text{ tickets}} = 120 \text{ dollars} \]

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