Question 1030689: your sister is using your credit card to buy tickets for a two directions concert. she is buying the tickets online on ticket boss. she tells you that there is a $5 transaction fee per order and each ticket costs $55. your sister can't remember how many tickets she bought. you check your bank statement, which shows a $225 transaction for a single online purchase from ticket boss. how many tickets did your sister buy?

hi there,
It was one transaction
This Transaction fee cost $5
Total cost = $225 - $5 (Transaction fee)
= $220
Cost of ticket = $55
220/55 = 4 tickets.
Sister bought 4 tickets.
Hope this helps :-)
