Question

You and 3 friends go to the movies. Each movie ticket costs $6.25. If your mom gave you $20.00 and you bought popcorn for $3.50, how much change are you taking home?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Change = \ 10.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Individuals = 4$ (You and 3 friends)

$Total = \ 20.00$

$Movie = \ 6.25$ per individual

$Popcorn = \ 3.50$

Required

Determine the change

First, we need to determine the total amount spent on movie ticket.

The question does not state whether I pay for my friend's ticket.

So, we'll work on what is obvious.

i.e

$Amount\ Spent\ on\ Ticket = \ 6.25$

Add this amount to the amount spent on popcorn

$Amount\ Spent =\ 6.25 + \ 3.50$

$Amount\ Spent =\ 9.75$

To get the Change, we have to deduct the total amount spent from the amount given by mom

$Change = \ 20 - \ 9.75$

$Change = \ 10.25$

Hence:

The change is $10.25
