Problem Situation: Gabi buys tickets to the movies.

She buys 1 adult ticket for $14 and 3 youth tickets.
She pays a total of $35.
What is the cost of each youth ticket?
Complete the equation to represent this situation.
The letter t represents the cost of a youth ticket.
iti
t + 14 =

Answer 1

t = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

total cost = 35

price per adult = 14x -> only 1 adult so 14(1) = 14

35 = 14(1) +3t

35-14 = 3t

21 = 3t

t=7

Answer 2

each youth ticket costs $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of each youth ticket be "y"

Solve for y:

• $14 + 3y = $35

• 3y = $35 - $14

• 3y = $21

• y = $7
