The total cost is $62. We know that in that $62, is the concert ticket that costs $14. $62 - $14 = $48. $48 is the cost of the two passes, and you said both cost the same, so 48 divided by 2 is 24, each pass is $24.

Equation for total cost - $24 + $24 + $14 = $62

Equation to find price of one pass - $62 - $14 divided by 2 = $24
