Question

Six friends all use $2-off coupons to buy themselves movie tickets.They spend a total of $42.What is the price of one movie ticket without the coupon?A$9B$7C$5D S11

Answer 1

A

1) Gathering the data

6 friends

(x -2) ----> The price of 1 ticket and the discount

x ---> Price of ticket

$42 ----> Total amount spent

2) Let's set the equation

6(x -2) =42

6x -12 = 42

6x = 42 +12

6x = 54

x=9

3) So the original price was $9.
