$68.00

Explanation:

If the rate is consistent, then we can find the answer through the proportion method

Let the cost be x

6:51 :: 8:x

6*x=8*51

x=8*51/6

x= $68

Answer 2

$68.00

Explanation:

If 6 tickets for movies cost $51 then how much will 8 tickets for the movie cost?

First thing to do is take 51 and 6 then divide them.

If you divided correctly you should have got 8.5 which is $8.50

This tells us that 1 ticket for the movie is $8.50.

The last thing to do is multiply 8.5 and 8.

If you divided correctly you should have got 68

This tells us that 8 tickets for movies cost $68.00.
