Answer: the price of one ticket is $70.

Step-by-step explanation:

The family of four went to a theme park and spent the total of $480 on tickets, food, and souvenir.

1/6 of their money was spent for souvenirs. It means that the amount of money that was spent on souvenirs is

1/6 * 480 = $80

1/4 of their money was spent for food. It means that the amount of money that was spent on food is

1/4 * 480 = $120

Total amount spent on souvenirs and food is

120 + 80 = $200

Total amount spent on tickets is

480 - 200 = $280

Since they are 4, the price of one ticket would be

280/4 = $70
