Question

A family buys 4 airline tickets online. The family buys travel insurance that costs $19 per ticket. The
total cost is $684. Let x represent the price of one ticket. Write an equation for the total cost. Then find
the price of one ticket.
Which equation represents this situation?
Part A.
A. 684 = 4(x + 19)
B. 684 = 19(x + 4)
C. 684 = 4x + 19
D. 19 = 4x + 684
Part B.
The price of one ticket is $?

Answer 1

$684 = 4(x + $19) is the equation.

To find the price of one ticket,

$684 = 4(x + $19)

Divide each side by 4.

$171 = x + $19.

Subtract $19 from each side.

$152 = x.

The price of one ticket is $152
