Question

It cost $7 for a matinee and $8 for an evening movie. With $56, would you be able to buy morematinee tickets or evening tickets? Explain.

Answer 1

To find how many matinee tickets you could buy, divide $56 by $7, which is the price of 1 ticket.

56 ÷ 7 = 8

Thus, you could buy 8 matinee tickets.

To find how many evening tickets you could buy, divide $56 by $8, which is the price of 1 ticket.

56 ÷ 8 = 7

Thus, you could buy 7 evening tickets. In conclusion, you could buy more matinee tickets than evening tickets with the same amount of money.
