Question

Cynthia paid $30 for herself and her 2 friends at the movies. Each person had a movie ticket, a bag of popcorn for $2, and a drink for $1. Cynthia had a coupon for $7.50 off. What was the original price of each ticket?

Answer 1

$7.50

Explanation:

She paid $30 for herself(1) and 2 friends = 3 tickets

30-6(popcorn)=24-3(drinks)-22+7.50=29.50/3= $7.50

Answer 2

9.5 dollars per ticket

Explanation:

to start you have to add 7.5 to 30 dollars to get how much it would have cost normally you get 37.5. next subtract 9 dollars. 6 for the popcorn and three for the drinks. you get 28.5 then devide by three to get the cost of one ticket at 9 dollars and 50 cents hope this helped. if you have any more questions feel free to message me
