Question

On the first day of summer break, Katie and her friends go to the theater to see the latest action movie, Dark Emperor: Fist of Vengeance. After Katie buys a ticket, she also buys a bucket of popcorn and a soda for $9.25. In all, Katie spends $23.25 at the movie theater. Which equation can you use to find the cost c of Katie's ticket?

Answer 1

We have the following information:

c is the cost of Katie's ticket; a bucket of popcorn and a soda cost $9.25, we determine c by using the following expression:

$c=23.25-9.25\Rightarrow c=14$

(This assuming there is no additional information).
