You are going to the movie theater with your parents and your 8 year old brother, Adult tickets cost $8, ages 10 - 18 cost $7.25 and under age 10 cost $4.25. If you spend an additional $20 on soda and popcorn, what is the total cost of your trip to the movie theater?

Parents = 2 adults = $8*2 = $16

8 year old brother = $4.25

Yourself age ? either $4.25 or $7.25

Soda & popcorn = $20

Total cost depends on your age

If you are under 10 then total cost = $20 + $16 + $4.25 + $4.25 = $44.50

if you are 10 - 18 then total cost = $20 + $16 + $4.25 + $7.25 = $47.50

so you must be aged between 1- and 18

It would have been easier to ask you how old you were instead of working backwards from cinema ticket costs, ha he!

2(8) + 1(4.25) + 20 = $40.25....and you didn't say how old you are, but you are probably ages 10-18....so add, 1(7.25) to 40.25 and you get $47.50....which is your answer.

Since you bought popcorn and movie tickets $11.50 and $20.00 can be ruled out because the price of popcorn and soda comes out to $20.00 for the family. You know, movie theaters really do take advantage of you for the price of soda, popcorn and everything.

Your answer is right!

$20.00
