Question

A group of 3 friends went to a movie. They paid $15 for a bucket of popcorn. All the

movie tickets were the same price. They paid $51.75 total. Which equation represents
the cost of the tickets?

Answer 1

51.75 - 15 / 3

Explanation:

$15 for a bucket of popcorn is separate from the tickets, so you subtract that from the sum.

Then you should have 36.75.

36.75 / 3 = 12.25

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

51.75- 15= 36.75

36.75/3= 12.25 per ticket
