    A family buys airline tickets online. Each ticket costs $167. The family buys travel insurance with each ticket that costs $19 per ticket. The Web site charges a fee of $16 for the entire purchase. The family is charged a total of $1132. How many tickets did the family buy?

    Let t be the number of tickets. We have the following equation with ticket price, insurance, and flat fee:
    167t + 19t + 16 = 1132

    Combine like terms:
    186t + 16 = 1132

    Using our equation calculator, we have:
    t = 6
