Question

Five friends a matinee movie spend $8 per ticket.They also purchase a small bag of popcorn each.If the friends pend a total of $62.50,how much does each bag of popcorn cost?

Answer 1

Five friends went to see a movie. Each person paid $5.

This is a total of $40.

$62.50 - $40 = $22.50.

We now have $22.50 to divide by 5 people.

So, $22.50/5 = $4.50.

Each person paid $4.50 for popcorn.
