Emily and a friend bought two tickets to see a soccer game. Each ticket cost $8.75. The friends paid a total of $27.50, which included a fee per ticket for parking near the stadium.

a) How much did each friend pay for the parking fee?

Now, here the cost of each ticket = $8.75

SO, the cost of 2 tickets = 2 x ( Cost of 1 ticket) = 2 x ($8.75) = $17.5

Let us assume the parking fee paid in total = $ a

Now, total amount paid by both friends = $27.50

⇒ The cost of 2 tickets + Parking Fee = $27.50

or, $17.50 + a = $27.50

⇒ a = 27.50 - 17 .50 = 10

or, a = 10

Hence, the total cost of parking fee = a = $10

So the parking fee paid by each friend = $10 / 2 = $5

Each ticket cost ​$8.75. The friends paid a total of ​$27.50​, which included a fee per ticket for parking near the stadium. How much did each friend pay for the parking​ fee?
