Let ticket be x and meal be y

So $0.50 for each movie ticket = 0.50x

$2 for each meal = 2y


He purchased 22 tickets, so x = 22

0.50 * 22 = $ 11


Now the total value is $25 (with both ticket and meal)

total = t

0.50x + 2y = t

you know x = 22 and t = 25

11 + 2y = 25


Part A)

2y = 25 -11

y = 14/2

y = 7

Number of meal is 7


Part B)

(don't know about part B)

0.50x + 2y = 25

0.50(22) + 2(7) = 25

11 + 14 = 25

25 = 25
