Question

Part 2 of 2: Mrs. Brown bought tickets for two adults and four children. She paid with a $50 bill. How much change did she receive? *Remember tickets are $6.50 *​

Answer 1

$19.80

Explanation:

Provided that the ticket for children costs $4.30 and the ticket for adults costs $6.50, it is easy to get the total cost by multiplying the cost of each ticket to the number of tickets and adding the products.

Adult's Ticket Cost

2 adults x $6.50 = $13

Mrs. Brown has to pay $13 for two adult tickets.

Children's Ticket Cost

4 children x $4.30 = $17.2

Mrs. Brown has to pay $17.2 for four children tickets.

Let's add both adult's ticket cost and children's ticket cost to get the total cost of the tickets.

$13 + $17.2 = $30.2

The total cost of the tickets is $30.2.

Let's subtract the total cost from the $50 bill paid by Mrs. Brown.

$50 - $30.2 = $19.8

Mrs. Brown received $19.80 as change.
