How much does a ticket cost?

Question

Mr. Monster and mr. Coulson decide to go see MacGruber. Together they paid $26 for 2 tickets and 2 sodas. How much does a ticket cost?

Answer 1

You do not have enough information.  You either need more info about the ticket or soda price or their relationship.

t= cost of a ticket

s= cost of a soda

2t+2s=26

t+s=13

that is the most you can do with the information given

Answer 2

x is the price of the ticket

y is the price of the soda

2x + 2y = 26

x + y = 13

That's the best that can be done with what is given:

the combined price of ticket and soda is $13

Notice this agrees with the examples shown by Lauren H.
