Question 1072505: Hey, could someone please help me with these:
Emma is going to a concert with four friends. If she purchases all the tickets online for $183, which includes an online surcharge of $8 for the entire order as well as $3.50 processing fee per ticket, what is the original ticket price?

The membership for a local zoo is $135. Members do not pay admission, but they are charged $3 to park. Non-member admission is $25 for the zoo and $5 for parking. After how many visits have members and non-members paid the same amount?
Thanks! ^-^

$3.50 * 5 = $17.50
:
******************************************************
original ticket price = (183 - 17.50 - 8) / 5 = $31.50
******************************************************
:
135 +3x = (25+5)x
:
135 +3x = 30x
:
27x = 135
:
x = 5

After 5 visits members and non-members have paid the same amount
