eight friends want to go see a movie. would you prefer to use an equation,a table,or a graph to find the cost of 8 movie tickets. Explain how would you use your chosen method to find the cost

Answer 1

I would prefer to use an equation. The next step would be to determine the correct math operation which sometimes is confusing. For this problem we were not given the cost so we let's say the movie tickets were $10 each. Now I would draw a simple picture or diagram to help make sense of the problem.

Here's a list of my friends and the cost of their movie tickets.

Jamar. Nina. Peter. David. Moriah. Julie. Ben. Ellie

$10. $10. $10. $10. $10. $10. $10. $10

With this image, I can see I need to add 10 eight times or simply multiply

8 x 10

And 8 x 10=80, so my answer is $80.

Answer 2

I would prefer to use an equation. First, Identify the number of people going - 8. Then, Identify the cost per ticket - (for example) $10 per ticket. Finally, multiply the number of tickets by the cost per ticket 8 x $10 = $80. Done:)

Answer 3

I would prefer to use an equation. I would determine the cost of 1 ticket then multiply the cost by 8 to get the total. For example if the ticket cost is $10 each, then 8 x $10 = $80. Voila!
