Answer 1

Explanation:

Let p=pop corn and x=tickets.

Because they have $9.50 on popcorn you should subtract 9.50 from 35. This gives you $25.50 dollars.

Because you know that they used the rest of the money to but tickets, they spent $25.50 on tickets

Therefore the equation should be 35-9.50=x or x=35-9.50

Answer 2

$25.50

Explanation:

35 - 9.5 = x

25.5 = x
