Answer 1

$11.40

Explanation:

$38 for 2 people to go to the movie theater.

38/2=19

$19 for each person to go to the movie theater.

40% of the money is for snacks, the movie ticket must be 60% of the money.

19×60%

19×60/100=11.4

The cost of each movie ticket is $11.40

Answer 2

$11.4

Explanation:

Total Cost = $38

Snacks:

=>
`(40)/(100)* 38`

=> $38-$15.2

=> $22.8

For 1 ticket:

=> $22.8/2

=> $11.4
