Question

Hadley has a coupon that she can use at the movie theater. It says, "Buy one ticket, get a second ticket half off." A movie ticket regularly costs $12. Which expression shows the regular price of two movie tickets, with the coupon?
A. 12+ (12x2)
B. 12 x (12+2)
C. 12+ (12 divided by 2)
D. 12- (12 divided by 2)

Answer 1

For this case we have that each coupon costs $12. So:

Buy a ticket: $12

Get a second ticket at half price we have: $\frac {12} {2} = 6$. Thus, the total to be paid will be $12 + $6 = $18.

Therefore, the correct expression is:

$12 + (\frac {12} {2})$

Answer:

12+ (12 divided by 2)

Option C
