Translate a rate into unit-rate form

Problem

A concert charges \(\$15\) for \(3~\text{tickets}\). Write the division expression and calculate the cost per ticket.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Cost per ticket means the expression must place total dollars over the number of tickets. We’ll use that unit order to write the division, calculate the cost attached to one ticket, and label the quotient in dollars per ticket. Multiplying the unit cost by three tickets will verify that it returns the original fifteen dollars.
