Question

Twenty five people paid $20 per ticket for a special movie. The twenty five people spent an additional $170 for food and drinks at the theater. What was the total expenditure?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total expenditure is $670.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Twenty five people paid $20 per ticket for a special movie. The twenty five people spent an additional $170 for food and drinks at the theater.

Now, to find the total expenditure.

Total people = 25.

Price per ticket for a special movie = $20.

Price spent by 25 people for food and drinks at the theater = $170.

Now, the total expenditure:

Total number of people × price per ticket  for the movie + price spent by 25 people for food and drinks at the theater

= $25\times 20+170$

$=500+170$

$=\ 670.$

Therefore, the total expenditure is $670.

Answer 2

Answer:

Therefore,

The total expenditure was $670.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Twenty five people paid $20 per ticket for a special movie.

Therefore,

Cost of ticket for one person = $20 , then,

Cost of ticket for 25 people = 25 times $20 = $500

In addition,

twenty five people spent an additional $170 for food and drinks at the theater.

Therefore,

$\textrm{Total Expenditure}=\textrm{Cost of ticket for 25 people}+\textrm{Cost for food and drinks at the theater}$

Substituting the values we get

$\textrm{Total Expenditure}=500+170=670$

Therefore,

The total expenditure was $670.
