Question

You and a friend went to the movies.You spent half your money on tickets. Then you spent 1/4 of the money on popcorn, $2 on candy, and $3 on a soda. If you have $1 left, hiw much money did u take to the movies?

Answer 1

We took $ 24 to the movies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total money be

On movies = Half of the money =
`(x)/(2)`

On popcorn =
`(x)/(4)`

on candy = $2

On soda = $3

total money spent =
`(x)/(2)` +
`(x)/(4)`+ 2+3+1

x =
`(x)/(2)` +
`(x)/(4)`+ 2+3+1

x-
`(x)/(2)` -
`(x)/(4)` = 6

`(x)/(1)` -
`(x)/(2)` -
`(x)/(4)` =6

`(4x-2x-x)/(4)  = 6\\          (x)/(4) =6\\x =24`
