you and 3 friends each get an admission ticket to a town carnival you have a coupon for 20$ off that will save your group money if the total bill to get into the carnival was 100$ what is the original cost for each admision ticket

1 answer

If the total bill to get into the carnival was $100 for you and your three friends (which means a total of 4 people), and you have a coupon for $20 off, the effective total cost to be paid is:

\[ 100 - 20 = 80 \]

Now, to find the original cost of each admission ticket, we divide the original total cost by the number of people:

\[ \text{Original cost per ticket} = \frac{100}{4} = 25 \]

So the original cost for each admission ticket is $25.
