Question

Roger is given a budget of $425

to review movies for the local newspaper. Each movie ticket costs $12
. He has already spent $240
to review some movies. How many movies can he review with the money he has left?

Answer 1

After spending $240, Roger has $185 left from his $425 budget. Each movie ticket costs $12, allowing him to buy tickets for 15 more movies with the remaining funds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many more movies Roger can review with the remaining budget, we first need to subtract the amount he has already spent from his total budget. Roger has a budget of $425 and has already spent $240 on movie tickets.

Remaining budget = Total budget - Already spent
Remaining budget = $425 - $240
Remaining budget = $185

Next, we divide the remaining budget by the cost of one movie ticket to find out how many more tickets he can afford:

Number of tickets = Remaining budget / Cost per ticket
Number of tickets = $185 / $12
Number of tickets = 15.417

Since Roger cannot buy a fraction of a ticket, he can buy tickets for 15 more movies with the remaining $185.

Answer 2

15 because 425-240 is 185 and 185 divided by 12 is 15.41 so you round it down
