snacks. A movie ticket costs $17. How
much was spent on each snack (they cost
the samhe amount)

Answer 1

$6.5 each snack

Explanation:

After bought movie ticket, Indira has 30-17=13

2 snacks have the same price： 13/2=6.5

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf Cost\ of\ snack = \$6.5}`

Explanation:

Let the cost of movie ticket be x and the cost of 1 snack be y.

Given condition:

x + 2y = 30

Given that,

Movie ticket = x = 17

So,

17 + 2y = 30

• Subtract 17 from both sides

2y = 30 - 17

2y = 13

• Divide both sides by 2

y = 13/2

y = 6.5

So,

Cost of snack = $6.5
