Given:
Cost of each ticket = $85 plus a charge of $2.50 per ticket to pick them up.
i e cost of each ticket = 85 + 2.50 = $87.50
A service fee of $10 per order. Here, the family made just one order .
Thus total cost of ticket = $87.50T + $10
Where T represents number of tickets bought.
Cost of limousine ride = $250
The total cost for tickets and transportation comes = $785
To find the number of family members attending the show, we have the equation:
785 = 87.50T + 10 + 250
Let's solve for T:
785 = 87.50T + 260
Subtract 260 from both sides:
785 - 260 = 87.50T + 260 - 260
525 = 87.50T
Divide both sides by 87.50:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{525}{87.50}=\frac{87.50T}{87.50} \\ \\ 6\text{ = T} \end{gathered}[/tex]T = 6
Since the number of tickets bought is 6, this means that 6 members of the family are attending the show
ANSWER:
6
