Question

Six friends each use a $2-off coupon to buy themselves a movie ticket. They spend a total of $42. What is the price of one movie ticket without the coupon?

Answer 1

Answer:

$9

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) First, divide 42 by 6 since there are six people and the total is $42.

42/6 = 7

2.) Now, add $2 to 7 since 7  was the price of the movie ticket AFTER the $2  were taken off of it

x = 7+2x=9

4.) So, one movie ticket (x) = $9
