Question

Adult tickets for an art exhibit cost $15. Tickets for students cost $8.

Martin has $180 to buy 2 adult tickets and 20 student tickets.
Martin says he has enough money to buy all of the tickets because $8 × 20 = $160 and $160 is less than $180.

Critique Martin's reasoning. Which statements are correct? Choose all that apply.

A.
Martin correctly found the total cost of the tickets.

B.
Martin did not include the cost of the adult tickets.

C.
The cost of the two adult tickets is $15.

D.
Martin correctly concludes that he has enough money to buy all of the tickets.

E.
The total cost is $190, so Martin does not have enough money.

Answer 1

The correct answers are B & E

Explanation:

The cost of adult tickets: 15$ * 2= 30$

The cost of student tickets: 8$ * 20= 160$

=> All the tickets cost 30$ + 160$= 190$

=> Martin still needs 10$ more to buy all of the tickets

Answer 2

Answer: A and D are TURE statements.
