"The cost of 6 movie tickets is $57.00"

so what is the cost of one movie ticket?

Answer 3

do i have to divide ?

Answer 4

yes, what do you get?

Answer 5

9.5

Answer 6

its d if u divide 57 by the 6 tickets equals 9.5 then multiply by 8 you get 76

Answer 7

so the cost of 1 ticket is $9.50

now multiply that by 8 to get the cost of 8 tickets

Answer 8

thanks it was confusing but i get it now

Answer 9

or this way...a proportion
6/57 = 8/x --- (6 tickets to $57 = 8 tickets to x)
cross multiply
(6)(x) = (57)(8)
6x = 456
x = 456/6
x = 76

8 tickets cost $76
