Question

Maria and Josie went to the movies and spent $3.75 altogether on snacks. Let t = the price of a movie ticket. Write an expression to show how much money they spent at the movies.

Answer 1

From the question we know that Maria and Josie went to the movies and spent a total amount of money, which should be the price of the tickets added to the price of the snacks.

Knowing that the price of the snacks is $3.75 and the price of the tickets is t, it looks like all that is left is to assign a variable to the total amount of maney they spent at the movies and write out the equation.

If we let the total amount of money they spent be x, then x= t+3.75, whcih should be your answer!
