Answer 1

If Robin was given a $40 monthly allowance. She wants to go to the movies as many times as possible and have at least $12.50 left at the end of the month to go to a concert. A movie ticket costs $5. Then she can go six times to the movies.

Explanation:

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

Given,

Robin was given a $40 monthly allowance.

She wants to go to the movies as many times as possible and have at least $12.50 left at the end of the month to go to a concert.

The amount spent on movies

40-12.5

$27.5

A movie ticket costs $5.

We need to find how many times can she go to the movies.

To find this we need to divide $27.5 by 5

$27.5/5=5.5

Robin can go 6 times to the movies.
