Answer:

Explanation:

The cost of an adult ticket to the show is $5.5

The cost of a student ticket to the show is $4.25

A family is purchasing 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets. This means that the total cost of 2 adult tickets would be

2 × 5.5 = $11

It also means that the total cost of 3 student tickets would be

3 × 4.25 = $12.75

The total cost of 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets would be

11 + 12.75 = $23.75

If the family pays $25, the exact amount of change they should receive is

25 - 23.75 = $1.25
