Answer:
\(\$8\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: for Carolina's birthday her mom took her and her for friends to the water park Carolina's mom paid \(\$40\) for \(5\) student tickets.
To Find: price for one student ticket.
Solution:
Total number of student tickets bought by carolina's mom \(=5\)
Total amount paid by carolina's mom for student tickets \(=\$40\)
Now,
To determine cost of one student ticket we will divide total amount into \(5\) equal parts.
cost of one student ticket \(=\frac{\text{total amount paid}}{\text{Total number of student ticket}}\)
putting values
\(\frac{40}{5}\)
\(\$8\)
Hence cost of one student ticket is \(\$8\)
