Question

If it costs $9.50 to buy a

movie ticket, what is the
most number of tickets
someone can buy for
$40.00? How much money
is left over?

Answer 1

4 tickets and 2 dollars that is left over.

Explanation:

You can't reach 40 dollars itself with 9, you'll need to find the closest product to 40. That would be 4 x 9. But $9.50 would be equal to $38. You need 2 dollars left over because 2 + 38 = 40.
