Question

It cost 4 people $65 to each buy a movie ticket and a

container of popcorn. Each container of popcorn cost $5.75.
Let t represent the cost of a movie ticket. Which equation
can be used to find the price of each movie ticket?
OA) 4(t + 5.75) = 65
OB) 4(t -5.75) = 65
OC) 4t + 5.75 = 65
OD) 4t -5.75 = 65

Answer 1

C) 4t + 5.75 = 65

Explanation:

This equation is correct because it adds together the price of one popcorn and the price of the 4 tickets as 4t.

A and B are wrong because only t should be multiplied by 4, and D is wrong because it subtracts the price of the popcorn.

Answer 2

A. 4(t + 5.75) = 65
