Your class is going on a trip to the state fair. The trip costs $52. Included in that price is $11 for a concert ticket and the cost of 2 passes, one for the rides and one for the games. Each of the passes cost the same price. Write an equation representing the cost of the trip and determine the price of one pass.
x + x + 11 = 52 x x 11 2x + 11 = 52 52
Creating a visual can help in writing and solving an equation. Concert ticket Passes x x 11 52 Total cost
Take away x x x x 11 Cut in half 41 52 41 ÷ 2 = 20.5 x = $20.50

Given a bar model, create an equivalent representation as an equation and word problem.
Given a desk of cards that include different equations, word problems and bar models, find the matching representations that represent the same situation.
David purchased three shirts that cost an equal price as well as a hat for $15. If he spent $47.50 shopping, write an equation that represents the situation and determine the cost of each shirt.
Tiffany withdrew three equal amounts then deposited $13 during the week. At the end of the week her bank account had $56.70. Write an equation to represent Tiffany’s bank account and determine the amount of money withdrew each time.
