Question

A movie theater charges $8 per movie ticket. How much would it cost for six people? 

Let x represent the number of tickets

Let y represent the cost, in dollars

 

Write an equation to represent the situaion.

Answer 1

Hi Jade,

 

Cost of movie ticket for 1 people=$8

Cost of movie ticket for 6 people=6×8=$48

 

Let x represent the number of tickets

Let y represent the cost

 

so the equation becomes

 

y=8x 

Answer 2

There is no need to write an equation to solve this.

Total cost = number of tickets(people) x cost per ticket = 6 x 8 = 48

Answer 3

y=8x

if x=6, y=8*6=48
