Problem:

The fifth graders took a trip to Crocolandia Farm. Eighty-three kids went on the field trip. Adult tickets were free. We had to pay a P5.00 parking fee. Our total bill for entering the farm was P586.00. How much was the entrance fee for each child?

Given:

Fifth Graders - 83 kids

Adults - free tickets - Php. 0.00

Parking - Php. 5.00

Total Bill - Php. 586.00

Solution:

✓Total Bill is the sum of the cost of kids tickets and the parking bill disregarding the bill of the adults tickets.

Suppose that x is the cost of kids tickets.

Answer:

✓The entrance fee for each child cost Php. 7.00.

Verified answer

Answer:

The entrance fee is P 7.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the entrance fee of each child.

Solution:

83x + 5 = 586

83x = 586 - 5

83x = 581

83x / 83 = 581 / 83

x = 7
