Michelle bought 2 tickets to a zoo. After she bought the tickets, her account balance showed a change of –$33.04. What would have been the change to Michelle's account balance had she only bought 1 ticket to the zoo? –$16.52 $16.52 $16.50 –$16.50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on more

OpenStudy (anikate):

np lemme read it real quick

OpenStudy (anikate):

here, easy:

OpenStudy (anikate):

so we know she bought 2 tickets

OpenStudy (anikate):

and now she is in debt by –$33.04 because she bought 2 tickets

OpenStudy (anikate):

the question asks how much each ticket costs

OpenStudy (anikate):

so do you know what to do from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i subtract 33.04 from 2

OpenStudy (anikate):

no...

OpenStudy (anikate):

use division because we need to divide to find out how much EACH ticket costs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so divide 33.04 from 2

OpenStudy (anikate):

if 2 tickets = $33.04 then 1 ticket= ?

OpenStudy (anikate):

try it and tell me what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh hold on

OpenStudy (anikate):

btw the question doesnt say he started with an initial amount in his pocket, so that means, he has 0$ right now thats why he is in debt by $33.04, thats why it is negative. -$33.04 is the amount he is in debt, for buying 2 tickets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i divide 33.04 with 1

OpenStudy (anikate):

he doesnt have money to pay back. so the answer will be in negative. remember this. DEBT ALWAYS MEANS -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so -33.04

OpenStudy (anikate):

no, becase $33.04 is the cose for 2 tickets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok

OpenStudy (anikate):

if 2x=-$33.04 then what does x equal btw x is how much each ticket costed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me think...

OpenStudy (anikate):

sounds good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-16.52

find 2 fractions that simplify to be the same, those 2 will terminate and that will be your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk hold on
