Question

The ticket prices at a movie theater are shown in the table. A family purchased tickets for 2 adults and 3 children, and the family purchases 3 boxes of popcorn of the same size. The family spent a total of $40.25 how much did each box of of popcorn cost

Answer 1

$2.25

Explanation:

The first thing you do is multiply the prices of tickets by how many they bought.

$8.50 x 2= $17

$5.50 x 3= $16.50

You then add these two numbers together and subtract that from $40.25.

$17+$16.50=$33.50

$40.25-$33.50=$6.75

You then divide $6.75 by 3 to find the answer

$6.75/3=$2.25
