Question

Nadia and some friends went to a movie. Their total cost was $30.24, which included taxes of $2.24. Write an algebraic expression to represent the price of each movie ticket, not including taxes. Let x represent the number of Nadia's Friends that went to the movies.

Answer 1

let x represent the number of nadia’s friends that went to the movies. 
30.24 – 2.24 = $28
or simply,
30.24 – 2.24 / x 
= 28/x = $/person
= 28 (1/x)
The algebraic expression to represent the price of the movie ticket is 28 (1/x)
