To determine who paid the highest price per ticket, we need to calculate the price per ticket for each person. We can do this by dividing the total price each person paid by the number of tickets they purchased. Let's go through this step-by-step for each person:
1. Person A:
- Total price paid: [tex]$191
- Tickets purchased: $[/tex]3
Price per ticket for A = [tex]\( \frac{191}{3} \)[/tex]
2. Person B:
- Total price paid: [tex]$309
- Tickets purchased: 5
Price per ticket for B = \( \frac{309}{5} \)
3. Person C:
- Total price paid: $[/tex]435
- Tickets purchased: 8
Price per ticket for C = [tex]\( \frac{435}{8} \)[/tex]
Next, we need to compare these prices to see who paid the highest price per ticket.
Upon calculating:
- The price per ticket for Person A is approximately [tex]\( \frac{191}{3} \approx 63.67 \)[/tex] dollars.
- The price per ticket for Person B is approximately [tex]\( \frac{309}{5} = 61.8 \)[/tex] dollars.
- The price per ticket for Person C is approximately [tex]\( \frac{435}{8} \approx 54.375 \)[/tex] dollars.
Now, let's compare these values:
- Person A: 63.67 dollars per ticket
- Person B: 61.8 dollars per ticket
- Person C: 54.375 dollars per ticket
We can see that the highest price per ticket is paid by Person A, [tex]\( 63.67 \)[/tex] dollars per ticket.
Therefore, the person who paid the highest price per ticket is:
(A) A
So, the answer is Person A.
