Total cost per ticket = total cost of tickets divided by the number of tickets

Total cost per ticket = 15/25

Total cost per ticket = 0.60

Total cost per ticket = 60 cents

Just divide the total cost ($15) by the number (25) of tickets to get the cost, per ticket. highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+15%2F25%2C+%22=%22%2C+%22%240.60%22%29%29

That's all....nothing COMPLEX and/or CONFUSING!!
