Question

Seth's father is thinking of buying his son a summer movie pass for $30 dollars. With the pass, matinees cost $2 each. Without thepass each movie is normally $6. If Seth plans to go to 30 movies this summer how much money would he save?

Answer 1

Theres a number of passes to purchase

Normal price (without pass) is $6

If Seth goes to all 30 movies without pass he will spend

30x6 = $180 dollars

WITH the pass Seth have $30 dollars , then dividing by 2 , this means he can go to 30/2 = 15 movies in summer with pass

Then remains another 15 movies that he can vo WITHOUT PASS

in this 15 movies Seth spends 15x6= $90 dollars

add this to the $30 spent in the other 15 movie

it gives 30+90 = $120 dollars

Finally substract

$180- $120= $60 dollars he can save
