Question

Damien is buying tickets to a movie. The movie he and his friends want to watch cost $4.85 per ticket. Damien has $32.00 total.

What is the greatest ticket Damien can buy?

Answer 1

x=greatest number of tickets Damien can afford to buy

x=32/4.85
x=6.56
x~6
Damien can buy 6 tickets
6•4.85=31.96$

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

Setup a equation.

32=4.85x (x equals amount of people)

Then divide both sides.

x=6.60

Obviously you can't split a person into .6, so the greatest amount of tickets is 6
