The regular price of a child's entry ticket to a water park is $8 less than that for an adult's. The park offers half off all entry tickets during the off-peak season. The Sandlers paid a total of $194 for 1 adult ticket and 4 child's tickets to the water park during the off-peak season. The following equation represents this situation, where x represents the regular price of an adult ticket:

194 = 1/2x + 2 (x - 8)

(1/2 is a fraction)

The cost of 1 adult ticket in the off season is 42$, but it is asking for the child ticket's price so you would do 194-42 and you get 152. Then, you would divide 152/4 and you get 38 but this is during the off-season so you would double it and get 76.

The regular price for a child is 76$
