Lisa likes to go to one movie per week. She usually spends $12 on herticket and $10 on a drink and popcorn. How much money would shesave in one year if she went on Tuesdays when the price of a ticket washalf off and she didn't have any snacks?

First lets figure out how much she spends in one year. There are 52 weeks in one year

She spends 12 on a ticket and 10 on snacks, or 22 dollars each time

22 * 52 = 1144 dollars in a year.

She decides to go on Tuesday where the ticket is 1/2 prices or 1/2 ( 12) = 6 and no snacks ( 0 dollars)

Her cost is 6 dollars. There are still 52 weeks in a year

6 * 52 = 312 dollars

She saves

1144 - 312 = 832 dollars
