Question

You and a friend are trying to decide whether going to the movie theater or renting a film to watch at home would cost less. At Theater

Y, the cost of a ticket for young adults ages 10-18 is $7.75. A medium drink costs $2.50 and a small popcorn costs $2.50. Conversely,
it costs $4.50 to rent a movie, $1.50 for a 2 liter of cola, and $2.00 for a bag of microwave popcorn. Which option would cost less and
by how much?

Home by $17.50

Theater Y by $8.00

Theater Y by $17.50

Home by $8.00

Answer 1

Home by $17.50

Explanation:

Home by 17.50 because when going to the theater you have to consider all the costs of everything you will be purchasing so there will be 2 tickets for yourself and your friend 2 drinks and 2 small popcorns when you add all of these up it will look like this 7.75+7.75+2.50+2.50+2.50+2.50 = 25.50 then I will subtract this from the at home cost so 25.50 - 4.50 - 1.50 - 2.00 = 17.50 So it's cheaper home by 17.50
