To determine how much money each friend must pay George for a single ticket, we need to divide the total cost of the tickets by the number of tickets purchased. Here’s the detailed step-by-step solution:
1. Identify the total cost of all the tickets:
The total cost is [tex]$45.
2. Identify the number of tickets purchased:
George bought 6 tickets.
3. Calculate the cost of a single ticket:
To find the cost of a single ticket, divide the total cost by the number of tickets:
\[
\text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of tickets}}
\]
Plug in the values:
\[
\text{Cost per ticket} = \frac{45 \text{ dollars}}{6 \text{ tickets}}
\]
Simplifying this:
\[
\text{Cost per ticket} = 7.5 \text{ dollars per ticket}
\]
Therefore, each friend must pay George $[/tex]7.5 for the price of a single ticket.
