At the movie theater all snacks and all movie tickets are priced the same. Four snacks and three movie tickets cost $40. Two snacks and three movie tickets are $32. What is the cost of a snack and movie ticket?

Write a systems that could be used to solve this problem. Let x = the cost of a snack in dollars and let y = the cost of a movie ticket.

Answer 1

We know that four snacks and three movie tickets cost $40 dollars, and when you take away 2 snacks but still keep the tickets, its $32.

2 snacks= $8

What i did to find the cost of each ticket is I divided 8 by 2 (8/2) and ended getting $4

1 snack= $4

Now to find the cost of each ticket, i divided 2 snacks ($8) and got this equation:

32 - 8= 24

3 tickets= $24

Now to find the amount for each ticket, i divided 24 by 3 (24/3) and got the answer:

1 ticket= $8

Therefore, snacks are $4 and movie tickets are $8

x tickets= 8x

x snacks= 4x
