Question

Emily attends a Film Festival. The admission fee is $10. Each movie ticket cost $5 each. Emily wants to determine how many movie tickets she can buy if she has a total of $40 before she pays the admission fee.

Answer 1

Answer:

Emily can buy 6 movie tickets after paying the admission fee

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of movie tickets

If each movie ticket costs 5 dollars then the cost of x movies will be 5x

And the admission fee will be a constant.

She has $40 in total

So the equation can be written as

$10+5x = 40\\5x = 40-10\\5x = 30\\\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{30}{5}\\x = 6$

Hence,

Emily can buy 6 movie tickets after paying the admission fee
