Question

Two families paid a total of $44.00 to see a movie. Each adult ticket cost $8.00. If there were 3 adults and 4 children, how much did each child's ticket cost?

$5.00

$5.50

$6.00

$6.50

Answer 1

In general they paid 44, 8 for each adult, theres 3 so 8*3

8*3 = 24

44-24 = 20

20/4 = 5

So $5 per child ticket

Answer 2

total cost=44
adult=8
child=?
3(8)+4(c)=44
4c=20
c=5
therefore 5 children tickets
