Answer: the cost of one ticket to the museum is $6.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one ticket to the museum.

The family purchased 4 tickets. There was a $1.50 processing fee for each ticket. This means that the total cost of purchasing and processing x tickets would be

4x + 1.5x

The family purchased tickets to the museum and spent a total of $38.00. The equation representing this situation would be

4x + 1.5x = 38

5.5x = 38

x = 38/5.5

x = $6.9
