Question

Diego paid $47 for 3 tickets to a concert. Andre paid $141 for 9 tickets to a concert. Did they pay at the same rate?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

We can use ratios for this:

Diego:

47:3 tickets

Divide both sides by 3 so you get the price of one ticket

15.67: 1 ticket

Andre:

141: 9 tickets

Divide both sides by 9 so you get the price of one ticket

15.67: 1 ticket

Answer 2

They did pay at the same rate

Explanation:

when dividing 47 by 3 you get 15.666... and when dividing 141 by 9 you also get 15.666... using this you can deduce that it is the same rate.
