Question

You and 3 friends go to the movies. Each movie ticket costs $6.25. If your mom gave you $20.00 and you bought popcorn for $3.50, how much change are you taking home?

Answer 1

`Change = \$10.25`

Explanation:

Given

`Individuals = 4` (You and 3 friends)

`Total = \$20.00`

`Movie = \$6.25` per individual

`Popcorn = \$3.50`

Required

Determine the change

First, we need to determine the total amount spent on movie ticket.

The question does not state whether I pay for my friend's ticket.

So, we'll work on what is obvious.

i.e

`Amount\ Spent\ on\ Ticket = \$6.25`

Add this amount to the amount spent on popcorn

`Amount\ Spent =\$6.25 + \$3.50`

`Amount\ Spent =\$9.75`

To get the Change, we have to deduct the total amount spent from the amount given by mom

`Change = \$20 - \$9.75`

`Change = \$10.25`

Hence:

The change is $10.25
