Question

The cost of a drive-in movie is $y per vehicle. A group of friends in a van shared the admission cost by paying $0.40 each. If 6 more friends had gone along, everyone would have paid only $0.25 each. What is the value of $y?
(a) $4
(b) $6
(c) $8
(d) $10
(e) $12

Answer 1

0.4x = y....(i)
0.25(x+6) =y.......(ii)
equate equation (i) and (ii)
0.4x = 0.25(x+6)
0.4x = 0.25x+1.5
0.4x-0.25x = 1.5
0.15x = 1.5
x = 1.5/0.15
x = 10
y = 0.4x
y=??
