Question

four friends attended a school play and pay $6.25 per ticket. Each also buys a healthy snack bag sold by the theater club. If the friends spent a total of $37.00, how much did they each healthy snack beg cost, b? write and solve an equation.

Answer 1

Since each ticket cost $6.25, then to find the total they spent on tickets you will multiply 6.25 by itself 4 times:

6.25 * 4 = 25

They spent $25 on movie tickets.

You can subtract that from the $37 to find the total they spent on the snacks:

37 - 25 = 12

Th spent $12 in total on movie snacks. Now to find how much they cost each, yo will divide that total by the 4 friends:

12/4 = 3

The movie snacks cost $3 each.
