Answer: (36-13.50)/5 = 4.50
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to amount spent on the tickets. To get this, we need to subtract the total amount spent by the amount paid for administration.
36 - 13.50 = 22.50
We then need to find out how much was spent per ticket. To do that, we need to divide the amount left by the number of tickets bought. Since there were 5 tickets bought, divide the new amount, 13.50, by 5.
23.50/5 = 4.50
Each ticket cost $4.50.
To check your work, multiply 2.50 by 5, then add 13.50 to the amount.
4.50x5 = 22.50
22.50 + 13.50 = 36
