Answer 1

Answer:

He can buy up to 20 tickets (ie 20 tickets or less)

The equation is 10+3.25x+5 = 80

========================================================

Explanation:

10 = admission cost

3.25 = cost per ticket

x = number of tickets

3.25x = cost from buying x number of tickets

5 = cost of nachos & coke

10+3.25x+5 = total cost of admission, tickets, and food/drink

10+3.25x+5 = 80 since this is the amount he has in his pocket

---------------

Let's solve for x

10+3.25x+5 = 80

3.25x+15 = 80

3.25x = 80-15 .... subtract 15 from both sides

3.25x = 65

x = 65/3.25 ........ divide both sides by 3.25

x = 20
