You purchase 5 tickets to a football game from an Internet ticket agency. In addition to the cost per ticket, the agency charges
a convenience charge of $2.50 per ticket. You choose to pay for rush
delivery, which costs $15. The total cost of your order is $352.50. What is
the price per ticket not including the convenience charge?

The price per ticket, excluding the convenience charge, is of $65.

Step-by-step explanation:

You choose to pay for rush delivery, which costs $15. The total cost of your order is $352.50.

So, only for the 5 tickets, you pay 352.50 - 15 = $337.50.

In addition to the cost per ticket, the agency charges a convenience charge of $2.50 per ticket.

Excluding the convenience charge per ticket, you will pay:

337.50 - 5*2.50 = 325.

What is the price per ticket not including the convenience charge?

$325 for 5 tickets.

325/5 = 65

The price per ticket, excluding the convenience charge, is of $65.

third choice down

step-by-step explanation:

the first inequality is based on the number of adults and campers, and the second inequality is based on the cost of feeding both the adult and the camper.

we know that there is room for 525 people max.   it's ok to have less than 525, but it's not ok to have more than 525, so the inequality is less than or equal to.   the number combination of adults (x) and campers (y) cannot exceed this 525 max.   therefore:

x + y ≤ 525

now we talk about cost.   it costs $9 to feed one adult, so depending upon the number of adults you have (x) depends upon how much it will cost to feed that number of adults.   same with the campers, who cost $5 to feed.   the adults can be represented by 9x and the campers can be represented by 5y.   since the budget cannot exceed 1,200, the second inequality is:

9x + 5y ≤ 1200
