Answer:

The regular price of the ticket was $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call [tex]P[/tex] the regular price of the tickets, and if she had bought tickets at this price, the total cost would have been

[tex]23P[/tex].

But Holly got $4 off the regular ticket price, that means one ticket cost her

[tex]P-4[/tex]

and if she bought 23 tickets it cost her

[tex]23(P-4)[/tex]

and we are told this equals $184; therefore we have

[tex]23(P-4)=184[/tex]

now we solve this equation the following way:

[tex]23(P-4)=184[/tex]

[tex]23P-4(23)=184[/tex]

[tex]23P-92=184[/tex]

[tex]23P=276[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{ P=12}[/tex]

Thus, the regular price was $12.

Answer:

I got it wrong answering $12, my school said it was $10.

I have no idea how though, they didn't show me their equation.
