Question

During the summer months, science center tickets are 3 for $36.75 and zoo tickets are 4 for $51.How much will a group of 12 students save by choosing the science center?

Answer 1

Answer: They will save $6

Explanation:

Science Center

There are 12 students and tickets are 3 for $36.75. There are 4 groups of 3 students, so we can find the price for the science center by multiplication:

4 x 36.75 = 147

Zoo

There are 12 students and tickets are 4 for $51. There are 3 groups of 4 students, so we can find the price for the zoo by multiplying, too:

3 x 51 = 153

To find out how much a group of 12 will save by choosing the science center we subtract

153 - 147 = 6

They will save $6
