We know that
• The total is $53.50.
,• They spent $26.75 on snacks and Mrs. Smith's ticket was $11.25.
Based on the given information, we can express the following.
[tex]26.75+11.25+2x=53.50[/tex]Where x represents each son's ticket, let's solve for x
[tex]\begin{gathered} 38+2x=53.50 \\ 2x=53.50-38 \\ x=\frac{15.50}{2} \\ x=7.75 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, each son's ticket costs $7.75.
