Question 1058637: I have four tickets bought in a subscription series and I need to know how much each person to the operas should reimburse me. The grand total is $133.00. Three are for weeknights and one is for a Saturday. Therefore, the Saturday ticket should cost about 23% more than the other three. How much is each ticket?

Let x represent the price of the weeknight tickets.

Then 1.23x represents the cost of the Saturday ticket.

The sum of the four ticket prices is $133, so you can write:

x + x + x + 1.23x = 133

4.23x = 133

x = 133/4.23

x = 31.44

The weeknight tickets are $31.44.

The Saturday ticket is 133 - 3(31.44) = $38.68
