Question

After paying $7 for a movie ticket Grace still had $3.75 how much money did Grace have before buying the ticket A. $3.25B. $10.25C. $4.52D. $10.75

Answer 1

D. $10.75​

To solve this we have to write an equation:

Movie ticket price: $7

Money left : $3.75

Original amount: x

The original amount (x) minus the price of the ticket(7) must be equal to the money left after the purchase (3.75)

x-7 =3.75

Solving for x:

x = 3.75+7

x = 10.75
