    Answer: the regular price is $6.5 each.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the regular price of a ticket to a basketball tournament.

    Discount tickets to a basketball tournament sell for $4.00 each. Sam spent $60.00 on discount tickets. This means that the number of tickets that Sam bought is

    60/4 = 15 tickets

    The cost of 15 tickets at the regular price is 15x

    Since the amount he paid is $37.5 lesser than what he would have paid if he bought the tickets at the regular price, then

    15x = 60 + 37.5 = 97.5

    x = 97.5/15

    x = 6.5
