The cost of performance tickets and beverages for a family of four can be modeled using the equation 4x + 12 = 48, where x represents the cost of a ticket. How much is one ticket?

A. $3.00
B. $9.00

1 answer

To find the cost of one ticket, first we need to solve the equation:
4x + 12 = 48

Subtract 12 from both sides:
4x = 36

Divide by 4 on both sides:
x = 9

Therefore, the cost of one ticket is $9.00. So, the answer is B. $9.00.
