Question

At the amusement park, Janine bought a bottle of water for $2. She also bought game tickets for $0.50 each. Janine spent a total of $15.

Which of the following equations can be used to find the number of game tickets, g. Janine bought?
O 0.509 + 2 = 15
O2g +0.50 = 15
O 0.50g - 2 = 15
O 2g -0.50 = 15

Answer 1

15 = 2 + 0.5g

Total number of ticket purchase by Janine = 26

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of water bottle = $2

Cost of each ticket = $0.50

Total amount spend by Janine = $15

Find:

Equation

Computation:

Assume;

Total number of ticket purchase by Janine = g

Total amount spend by Janine = Cost of water bottle + (Cost of each ticket)(Total number of ticket purchase by Janine)

15 = 2 + (0.5)(g)

15 = 2 + 0.5g

0.5g = 13

g = 13 / 0.5

Total number of ticket purchase by Janine = 26
