Part One (7th-grade version): Let's call the cost of one pass "x". We know that the trip costs $63, and this includes $13 for the concert ticket and the cost of 2 passes. The equation representing the cost of the trip can be written as 13 + 2x = 63.

Part Two (7th-grade version): In order to determine the price of one pass, we need to solve the equation 13 + 2x = 63. First, let's subtract 13 from both sides to isolate the term with "x." This gives us 2x = 50. Then, to find the value of "x," we divide both sides of the equation by 2. So, x = 25. Therefore, the price of one pass is $25.
