Mr & Mrs Smith and their 3 kids went to the movies. The total cost of their tickets was $28, the children were half price. How much did each adult ticket cost?

Answer 1

X + X + X/2 + X/2 + X/2 = 28

(3 and 1/2) X = 28

(7/2)X = 28

X = 28 ( 2/7) = 56/7 = 8

Adult tickets cost $8

child tickets cost $4
