Discount tickets to a basketball tournament sell for $4.00 each. Sam spent $60.00 on discount tickets, $37.50 less than if he had bought the tickets at the regular price. What was the regular price?

the regular price is $6.5 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the regular price of a ticket to a basketball tournament.

Discount tickets to a basketball tournament sell for $4.00 each. Sam spent $60.00 on discount tickets. This means that the number of tickets that Sam bought is

60/4 = 15 tickets

The cost of 15 tickets at the regular price is 15x

Since the amount he paid is $37.5 lesser than what he would have paid if he bought the tickets at the regular price, then

15x = 60 + 37.5 = 97.5

x = 97.5/15

x = 6.5

560

hope this : )

you save $70

discount would be 35% off
