Question

it costs $36.75 for 3 tickets to visit the science center. it costs $51 for 4 tickets to visit the zoo. which attraction will cost more money for a group of 12 students to visit? how much more?

Answer 1

The $51 attraction will cost more and it’ll cost more by $6
36.75x4=147
51x3 =153
153-147=6

Answer 2

Find the cost for one ticket for the science center.

36.75 ÷ 3 = 12.25

Multiply the product with 12 to get the cost of 12 tickets.

12.25 × 12 = 147

Find the cost of 1 zoo ticket.

51 ÷ 4 = 12.75

Find the cost of 12 tickets by multiplying the product and 12

12.75 × 12 = $153

12 Science Center Tickets cost $147

12 zoo tickets cost $153

The Zoo costs more than the Science Center.

To find out how much more the Zoo costed, subtract 147 from 153.

153 - 147 = 6

The zoo only costs $6 more for 12 students.

So, you're answers are Zoo and $6
