Total amount = $30
$12 spent on food
30 = 12 = $18 spent on tickets
$18/15 = $1.20 per book

Benjamin has $30.
Benjamin put $12 aside for food, so that leaves $18.
This remainder ($18) was spent on 15 books of tickets.
Therefore, the algebraic translation of this is
15b = 18
To determine the cost of one book, just divide both sides by 15.
b = 18/15
Put this in decimal form, since we're dealing with currency.
b = 1.2
Therefore, each book of tickets cost $1.20

ok take 30 and subtract 12 that = 18 now take 18 divided by 15 and you get 1.20
so the cost of one book of tickets is $1.20

30-12=18
18/15= 1.20
equation= (30-12)/15

food + refr = 30
tck = (30 - food) over 15
Equation:
tck = (30 - 12)/15
tck = 18/15
tck = $ 1,20
Answer: One book of tickets costs $ 1,20.
