Question

Diego paid $47 for 3 tickets to a concert. Andre paid $141 for 9 tickets to a concert.

Did they pay at the same rate? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes, they paid the same price per each ticket.

Explanation:

You will have to find each of their individual prices per ticket. For Diego it would be 47/3 or $15.67 per ticket. For Andre it would be 141/9 or $15.67 per ticket. This means that they paid the same price per ticket so they are paying at the same rate for their tickets.
