Theater B

Theater C

tie between two of them

Respuesta :

Answer: Theatre A because the total is $14.25 (B costs $15, C costs $14.50)

Answer: theater C will cost the least.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that you buy an adult ticket at either of the theatres,

1)At theatre A, the total cost of one adult ticket, one soda and one popcorn would be

6.25 + 2.0 + 2.5 = $10.75

2) At theatre B, the total cost of one adult ticket, one soda and one popcorn would be

7.25 + 2.0 + 2.0 = $11.25

3) At theatre C, the total cost of one adult ticket, one soda and one popcorn would be

5.25 + 2.5 + 2.5 = $10.25

$10.25 is the lowest of the 3 costs. Therefore, theater C will cost the least.
