Answer :
The equation used to find the cost of student ticket is:
[tex]13x + 3.50 + 3x + 18.50 = 50[/tex]
Solution:
Given that,
A teacher brings $50 to pay for museum admission
She buys an adult ticket for $3.50 and 13 student tickets
Cost of adult ticket = $ 3.50
Let "x" be the cost of each student ticket
Three students arrive late so she buys 3 more student tickets
She has $18.50 left
The equation used to find the cost of student ticket is:
Cost of adult ticket + 13 student tickets x cost of each student ticket + 3 student ticket x cost of each student ticket = 50 - 18.50
[tex]3.50 + 13x + 3x = 50-18.50\\\\13x + 3.50 + 3x + 18.50 = 50[/tex]
Thus the above equation is used
