The five members of the Garcia family each buy train tickets. During the train ride, each family member buys a boxed lunch for $6.00. If the total cost of the trip is $240, what is the price of each train ticket? Show me the equation and show me the steps to solve it and finish with a sentence describing what a train ticket costs.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A train ticket costs $42

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 30 = 240 (6 * 5 = 30, cost of lunch times 5 members of family)

5x = 240 - 30

5x = 210

x = 42

A train ticket costs $42.
