Question

Tisha and her scout troop are heading to the Swing Time zipline park. They plan to purchase
the group package. With the package, the cost per person is $5 less than the normal cost for
an individual. There are 12 scouts in Tisha's troop. Her troop leader called ahead and found
that the total cost for the group will be $150. What is the normal cost for an individual?

Answer 1

Answer:

$17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 150 by 12 to get 12.5. 12.5 is what they paid per-person with the discount. add 5 to get 17.5 and that is the on-discounted price

Answer 2

Answer: $17.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure out how much it is for each individual scout with the group package - 150 / 12 = $12.50

Add $5 to the above cost for an individual with normal cost - $12.50 + $5 = $17.50

Hope this helps :)
