Question

Movie tickets for children cost $5.50 at a Brooklyn movie theater. Aldult tickets cost $3.75 more. If 2 aldults and 4 children buy theater tickets, what’s the total cost

Answer 1

$29.50

5.50+5.50+5.50+5.50=22

3.75+3.75=7.50

22+7.50= 29.50

Answer 2

$40.5

Explanation:

A child's movie ticket is $5.50, while an adult ticket costs $3.75 more.

So, the cost of an adult ticket is (5.50+3.75) dollars, which is 9.25 dollars.

Using these two costs, we can calculate the total cost of 2 adults and 4 children.

The cost of 2 adult tickets is:
`2*9.25=18.5` dollars

The cost of 4 children tickets is:
`4*5.50=22` dollars

The total of these two costs is
`18.5+22=40.5` dollars

Thus, the total cost is $40.5.
