Question

2. Damian is buying movie tickets to a movie. The tickets cost $4.35 per ticket. Damian has $40.00. What is the greatest amount of tickets he can buy?

Answer 1

Given:

Cost of one ticket is, c = $4.35.

Total amount with Damian is, T = $40.00.

The objective is to find the number of tickets Damian can buy with this total amount.

Consider the number of tickets as x.

The equation for this situation can be represented as,

`\begin{gathered} \text{Total amount=cost per ticket}*\text{number of tickets } \\ T=c* x \end{gathered}`

Now, substitute the given values in the above equation.

`\begin{gathered} 40=4.35x \\ x=(40)/(4.35) \\ x=9.19 \\ x\approx9 \end{gathered}`

Hence, Damian can buy maximum 9 tickets with total cost of $40.00.
