Answer 1

First, let's determine the total cost of the tickets with the discount applied. Dea bought 6 tickets for a total cost of $51.

Let's designate the regular price of each ticket as x dollars. Since each ticket is $1.50 off, the price Dea pays for each ticket is (x - 1.50) dollars.

We know she bought 6 tickets, so the cost for all tickets is:

6 * (x - 1.50) = $51

Now you can distribute the 6 on the left side of the equation:

6x - 6 * 1.50 = $51
6x - 9 = $51

Now, let's solve for x by adding 9 to both sides of the equation:

6x = $51 + $9
6x = $60

Divide both sides by 6 to solve for x:

x = $60 / 6
x = $10.00

So, the regular price of each ticket is $10.00.
