Question

six friends all use $2-off coupons to buy themselves movie tickets. they spend a total of $42. what is the price of one movie ticket without the coupon.

Answer 1

So if six friends each use $2-off coupons, that would be 12 off of the 42, so 30. Then divide that by the 6 and you get $5 each. At least, I think so. Please don't hate me if that's wrong.

Answer 2

Answer: The price of one movie ticket would be $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total amount = $42

Number of friends = 6

Amount of coupon of each friend = $2

Total amount of coupon would be

$2\times 6=\ 12$

So, Price of total tickets without the coupon would be

$\ 42-\ 12\\\\=\ 30$

Price of one ticket would be

$\dfrac{30}{6}\\\\=\ 5$

Hence, the price of one movie ticket would be $5.
