You want to go to the movies with your friends and your parents offer to pay for everyone.

$19.95 total, what is the maximum number of tickets you can buy if your parents give you
$75?

Answer:

4 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

1. make an equation representing the situation. x is the number of how many tickets you buy

  13.5x + 19.95 = 75

2. subtract 19.95 from both sides

  13.5x = 55.05

3. divide by 13.5 on both sides

  x = 4.08

now, you can't buy 0.08 of a ticket, so you have to round to the nearest whole number, which in this case is 4.
