Question

Emily attends a Film Festival. The admission fee is $10. Each movie ticket cost $5 each. Emily wants to determine how many movie tickets she can buy if she has a total of $40 before she pays the admission fee.

Answer 1

Emily can buy 6 movie tickets after paying the admission fee

Explanation:

Let x be the number of movie tickets

If each movie ticket costs 5 dollars then the cost of x movies will be 5x

And the admission fee will be a constant.

She has $40 in total

So the equation can be written as

`10+5x = 40\\5x = 40-10\\5x = 30\\(5x)/(5) = (30)/(5)\\x = 6`

Hence,

Emily can buy 6 movie tickets after paying the admission fee
