Group Tickets Word Problem Worksheet

This worksheet presents a problem where 36 students are visiting an amusement park with two types of ticket pricing: $6 for an individual or $30 for a group of up to 10 people. Students must calculate the minimum amount of money that the group needs to spend on tickets. The task involves understanding and applying the best combination of individual and group tickets to achieve the lowest possible cost.

The worksheet teaches students to apply mathematical reasoning to solve real-world problems involving optimization, in this case, minimizing cost. It introduces the concept of cost efficiency and basic division, as students must figure out how many group tickets versus individual tickets to purchase. This problem also provides an opportunity for students to practice their division and multiplication skills in a practical context, as well as to understand the benefits of buying in bulk.
