Question

Tyler and Madeline purchased two tickets at Sky Zone Trampoline Park for $20.00 each. Both purchased an icee

afterwards. Tyler used a gift card for $10.00 that he received from his grandmother for his birthday. After using the
gift card, their total purchase was $36.50,

Answer 1

The cost of one Icee is $6.5

Explanation:

Let x represent the cost of each Icee. Since each ticket cost $20 and a total of 2 tickets was purchased, hence the total cost of tickets is:

Cost of tickets = 2 * $20 = $40

They then purchased an Icee afterwards, hence the total money spent is:

Total money spent = 40 + x

After using a gift card of $10, the total purchase was $36.50, hence:

Total purchase = 40 + x - gift card

36.5 = 40 + x - 10

x + 40 = 46.5

x = $6.5
