Six kids and two adults are going to the circus. Kid's tickets are on sale for only half of the adult tickets. The total cost is $50. How much is one kid's ticket?
Define a variable ** Let X be the price of one kid's ticket.
How much is one adult ticket? ** So the price of one adult ticket is X*2.
Write an equation ** Five kids and two adults are going to the circus, so 6*X + 2*(X*2) = $50.
Simplify ** So 10X=$50
How much is one kid's ticket? ** So the price of one kid's ticket is X = $<<5=5>>5.
