Question

FOR 14 points! A group of friends are going to see the newest action movie. The price of a ticket is $6.25. As a group, they spent $12 on refreshments. If they spent a total of $30.75 on tickets and refreshments, how many people went to the movies? Which equation represents the scenario? How many people went to the movies?

Answer 1

x = number of people went to movies

equation

6.25x + 12 = 30.75

6.25x = 30.75 - 12

6.25x = 18.75

x = 18.75 / 6.25

x = 3

answer

3 people
