Answer 1

The price for an adult is 12.80$. The price for a child is 5.60$

Explanation:

To find adult pricing: 64$ divided by 5

To find child pricing: 12.8 times 2 = 25.8$. Then 48-25.6=22.4. Then 22.4/4

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

One adult ticket costs $12.80

One child ticket costs $5.60

Step-by-step explanation: We know 5 adult tickets cost $64, but we want to know how much 1 costs, so divide 64 by 5, to find the cost for one adult ticket.

64 divided by 5 = 12.8

So, one adult ticket costs $12.80.

At the movie theater we know that the price of 2 adult tickets and 4 child tickets combined was $48.

First multiply $12.80 by 2 to find the cost of two adult tickets, which is $25.60.

Now, subtract $25.60 from $48 to get the amount it costed for 4 child tickets. $48 - $25.60 = $22.40.

So, 4 child tickets cost $22.40, but we want to know how much 1 child ticket costs. So, multiply 22.40 by 4 to get the price for 1 child ticket. 22.40 divided by 4 is 5.6.

So, one child ticket costs $5.60
