Tickets to the baseball game are on sale for $1.50 off the regular price. Dea buys 6 tickets. If her total cost is $51 what is the regular price of each ticket? Write and solve an equation of the form

Answer 1

Let's assume the regular price of each ticket is "x".
Since Dea bought 6 tickets, her total cost would be 6 * x.
The tickets were on sale for $1.50 off the regular price, so the discounted price would be x - $1.50.
Therefore, the equation becomes:
6 * (x - $1.50) = $51.
Expanding and simplifying the equation:
6x - 9 = 51.
Adding 9 to both sides:
6x = 60.
Dividing both sides by 6:
x = $10.
Therefore, the regular price of each ticket is $10.
