Q: A family is going to the amusement park. The adult tickets cost $22 for admission, and the tickets for children cost $7. The family consists of 2 adults and 2 children. What is the total price the family will pay for admission?
A: To solve this problem you can set up an equation to represent the total price the family will pay, with a representing the number of adult tickets, c representing the number of children’s tickets, and p representing the total price of admission. Thus 22a + 7c = p. Plug in the number of adults and children that plan to go to the amusement park: 22(2) + 7(2) = $58 is the total cost for admission. The answer is 58.
Question: Lily has 5 lottery tickets to sell. She sells the first ticket for $1. She then sells each successive ticket for a dollar more than the previous ticket. She plans to keep a $4 profit and give the remaining money as the prize. How much money will the winner of the lottery receive?
Answer:
The second ticket sold will cost $1 + $1 = $2. The third ticket sold will cost $2 + $1 = $3. The fourth ticket sold will cost $3 + $1 = $4. The fifth ticket sold will cost $4 + $1 = $5. The total money collected is $1 + $2 + $3 + $4 + $5 = $15. After taking profit, the total prize money will be $15 - $4 = $11. The answer is 11.
