Given:
Total amount spend on movie = $75
Each friend bought a ticket and a small popcorn that cost $8.25.
To find:
The price of each ticket.
Solution:
Let x be the price of each ticket.
Total cost of ticket and popcorn of each friend [tex]=x+8.25[/tex]
Total cost of ticket and popcorn of three friend [tex]=3(x+8.25)[/tex]
It is given that, the total amount spend on movie is $75. So,
[tex]3(x+8.25)=75[/tex]
[tex]x+8.25=\dfrac{75}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x+8.25=25[/tex]
Subtract 8.25 from both sides.
[tex]x=25-8.25[/tex]
[tex]x=16.75[/tex]
Therefore, the cost of each movie ticket is $16.75.
