Question

It costs John $13.50 to take Mary out for the evening. Sixty percent of this total was for theater tickets. What was the cost of each ticket?

Answer 1

I found: `$4.05` for one ticket.

Explanation:

We can write `60%` as `0.6` to be used as:
`0.6*(13.50)=8.1` dollars, corresponding to the price od two tickets:
So it will be: `8.1/2=4.05` dollars for one ticket.
