Question

Mr. Drumm is purchasing tickets for a school museum visit. The Museum of Natural History charges a $25 group fee plus $5 per student. The Museum of Modern Art charges a group fee of $35 plus $4 per student. To pay the same amount at each museum, how many tickets will Mr. Drumm have to order?​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

25 + 5x = 35 + 4x

solve for x:

subtract 25 from both sides...

5x = 35 - 25 + 4x

subtract 4x from both sides...

5x - 4x = 10

x = 10, 10 tickets.
