Answer:

Equation: 8.5t+6.5=57.5

Solution: t=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "t" the number of movie tickets bought by the group of friends.

According to the information given in the exercise, the price of each movie ticket is: $8.50.

Then, you can represent the amount (in dollars) the group of friends spent in movie tickets, with this expression:

8.5t

You know that one person spent $6.50, then the expression that represents the total amount (in dollars) the group of friends spent in food and movie tickets, is:

8.5t+6.5

Since that total amount spent is given in the exercise, you can write the following equation to determine how many tickets were bought:

8.5t+6.5=57.5

Finally, you can solve for "t" in order to find the solution of the equation. This is:

8.5t=57.5-6.5\\\\t=\frac{51}{8.5}\\\\t=6

David goes into a candy store with $5.00. He buys 9 peppermints for $0.15 each and some sour candies. Each sour candy costs $0.2
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

He can buy up to 14 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money ≥number of peppermints * cost per peppermint + number of sour candies * cost per sour candy

We know he has 5 dollars.  He bought 5 peppermints at $.15 cents each and x sour candies at $.25 each

Substituting in

5 ≥ 9*.15 + x*.25

5≥1.35 + .25x

Subtract 1.35 on each side

5-1.35 ≥ 1.35-1.35+.25x

3.65≥.25x

Divide by .25 on each side

3.65/.25 ≥ .25x/.25

14.6 ≥ x

He can buy up to 14 candies.  You can't buy part of a candy
