Answer 1

Let's assume the regular price of each ticket is $x.

Since the tickets are on sale for $1.50 off the regular price, each ticket costs (x - $1.50).

Dea buys 6 tickets, so her total cost is 6 * (x - $1.50) = $51.

Simplifying the equation, we have 6x - 9 = 51.

Adding 9 to both sides of the equation, we have 6x = 60.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we have x = $10.

Therefore, the regular price of each ticket is $10.
