b. Bernie has $7.00.

c. Chrissy has $6.50.

d. Dina has $6.00.

e. Evan has $5.00.

f. Frank has $14.00.

Who has enough money to go to the movie? ( write names below )

Answer 1

Bernie, Chrissy, Dina and Frank

Explanation:

if all 73 tickers are sold, the theatre makes $438 so each ticket is worth $438/73

this equals to $6.00 for one ticket

this means that Bernie, Chrissy, Dina and Frank have enough money to see the movie

Answer 2

Bernie, Chrissy, Dina, and Frank are able to go.

Explanation:

The question is not entirely clear. I take it that 73 tickets will bring in 438 dollars. If that is so, each ticket is selling for the solution of this proportion.

x / 1 = 438/73 Just do the division on the right

x = 6.00 dollars.

So Amanda will not be able to go.

Even will not be able to go.

Everyone else can.
