Three friends go to the movies and spend a total of $75.00. Each friend bought a ticket and a small popcorn that cost $8.25 how much was each ticket

Sagot :

Given:

Total amount spend on movie = $75

Each friend bought a ticket and a small popcorn that cost $8.25.

To find:

The price of each ticket.

Solution:

Let x be the price of each ticket.

Total cost of ticket and popcorn of each friend [tex]=x+8.25[/tex]

Total cost of ticket and popcorn of three friend [tex]=3(x+8.25)[/tex]

It is given that, the total amount spend on movie is $75. So,

[tex]3(x+8.25)=75[/tex]

[tex]x+8.25=\dfrac{75}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x+8.25=25[/tex]

Subtract 8.25 from both sides.

[tex]x=25-8.25[/tex]

[tex]x=16.75[/tex]

Therefore, the cost of each movie ticket is $16.75.
