Question

Four movie tickets cost $30.00. Five concert tickets cost $36.50. Do the movies or the concert cost less per ticket? How much less?

Answer 1

Concert tickets cost $7.30 per ticket, which is 20 cents less than movie tickets, which cost $7.50 per ticket.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether movie tickets or concert tickets cost less per ticket, we first calculate the cost per ticket for each event. Four movie tickets cost $30.00, so to find the cost per movie ticket, we divide the total cost by the number of tickets:

• Cost per movie ticket = $30.00 / 4 = $7.50 per ticket

Similarly, five concert tickets cost $36.50. Dividing the total cost by the number of concert tickets gives us:

• Cost per concert ticket = $36.50 / 5 = $7.30 per ticket

Now that we have both costs, we can compare them. The cost per concert ticket is less than the cost per movie ticket. To find out how much less, we subtract the cost per concert ticket from the cost per movie ticket:

• Difference in cost = $7.50 - $7.30 = $0.20

Therefore, the concert tickets cost 20 cents less per ticket than the movie tickets.

Answer 2

A Movie ticket costs $7.50 and Concert Ticket costs $7.30, so the movie ticket costs more by 20 cents.
