Question

Four friends attend a school play $6 per ticket. Each also buys a healthy snack bag sold by the theatre club. If the friends spent a total of $34, how much did each healthy snack bag, b, cost. Write and solve an equation

Answer 1

4 (6) + 4x = 34

Explanation:

each bag will cost 2.5

Answer 2

4 (6) + 4x = 34

This is because there were 4 friends, as each of them attended the theatre club for $6, we would do 6 X 4 = 24.

24 + 4x = 34

Subtract:

4x = 10

x = 2.5

Each bag costed $2.5
