Problema Solution
Renee wants to take her daughter and some of her daughter’s friends to the movies. A movie ticket is $8. Renee budgets $50. How many of her daughter’s friends can go to the movies?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of friends and we assume Renee is buying a ticket for herself, therefore the total number of tickets purchase is 'x+2'
50/(x+2) = 8
solving for 'x' we have x=4.25
there must be no more than 4 friends accompanying Renee and her daughter in order to keep the cost below $50
