You and three friends each get an admission ticket to the 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 admission ticket.

Answer 1

To find the original cost for each admission ticket, we start with the total bill before applying the coupon.

The total bill is $100, and the coupon saves $20. Therefore, the total cost of the admission tickets before the coupon is applied is:

\[ 100 + 20 = 120 \]

This $120 is the total cost for all four admission tickets. To find the cost of each individual ticket, we divide the total cost by the number of tickets:

\[ \text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{120}{4} = 30 \]

So, the original cost for each admission ticket is $30.
