Elise and her dad are planning to attend the state fair. An adult ticket is $21.00. The price of an adult ticket is $10.00 more than two thirds the price of a student ticket. Write an equation to determine how much Elise will pay for a student ticket.

Answer:The equation to determine how much Elise will pay for a student ticket is 2x = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price of one student ticket.

Elise and her dad are planning to attend the state fair and the price of an adult ticket is $21.00

The price of an adult ticket is $10.00 more than two thirds the price of a student ticket. This means that

21 = 2/3 * x + 10

The equation to determine how much Elise will pay for a student ticket would be

2x/3 + 10 = 21

2x/3 = 21 - 10 = 11

2x = 11*3 = 33

x = 33/2 = $16.5
