Question

Five friends attend a matinee movie and spend $8 per ticket. They also purchase a small bag of popcorn each. If the friends spend a total of 62.50, how much does each small bag of popcorn coast? Write and solve an equation.

Answer 1

Answer: (8 + x) * 5 = 62.5

Explanation:

8 + x = 12.5 {divide each side by 5}

x = 12.5 - 8

x = 4.5
