Question

Isaac and his friends wanted to watch a movie on opening night. They bought tickets online for $9 each. They paid an additional $5 handling fee for the order. The cost was more than $150. How many tickets would they have purchased?

Answer 1

we can immediately subtract 5$ from the 150$ cost. leaving us with 145$, then we can divide to see if 145 divided by 9 makes sense. it should be around 16.1111 but thats not a valid answer so we round down to 15. 15x9=145
