Question

Josiah and his friends are going to the movies. Each ticket costs $10, and popcorn is $5 a bag. There is a $3 service fee for the entire purchase. He has $75. If he buys 4 tickets, what is the maximum number of bags of popcorn he can buy

Answer 1

Make sure you check this because i do make mistakes.

10 x 4 = 40

75 - 40 = 35

So josiah has 35 dollars to spend for things other than tickets.

35 - 3 = 32 (for the service fee)

So josiah has 32 dollars to spend on popcorn

32/5 = 6.4 but you cant have half a bag of popcorn so

6 bags
