Question

You buy 6 movie tickets and a $7.50 bucket of popcorn. If you spend a total of $115.50 at the movies, how much was each ticket?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: Let’s write and solve an equation.

Let x equal the cost of each movie ticket.

Equation:

6x + 7.50 = 115.50

Next, solve for x, each movie ticket.

6x + 7.50 - 7.50 = 115.50 - 7.50

6x = 108

6x/6 = 108/6

x = 18

So, each movie ticket, x costs $18.

Answer 2

Tickets were 18$ a piece.

115.50-7.50=108

Divide 108 by 6 you get 18.
