Question

The cost of a movie ticket for a group of friends is $24. They buy 3 snacks. The cost of each snack is the same. The group spends $43.50 total for tickets and snacks. How much does each snack cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of each snack is 6.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the cost for all the snacks by taking the total cost and subtracting the price of the tickets.

43.50-24 = 19.50

Then divide the cost of the snacks by the number of snacks purchased.

19.50/3 = 6.50

The cost of each snack is 6.50
