Mrs. Franklin took her five children to an amusement park. The cost of tickets for the 2 younger children was $12.50 each. The cost of her ticket was $15.00. She spent a total of $80.50. What was the cost of each ticket for her three older children?

$13.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount spent $80.50 would be equal to the sum of the price of the ticket bought by the 6 individuals

total cost of the tickets for the  2 younger children = $12.50 x 2 = $25

let the price of each ticket for the three older children be represented by x. the total price of the 3 tickets would be 3x

$80.50 = $25 + 3x + 15

Collect like terms and solve for x

$40.50 = 3x

x = $13.50

answer: h

step-by-step explanation:

the answer to the expression is 83
