Miguel and three of his friends went to the movies. They originally had a total of $40. Each boy had the same amount of money and spent $7.50 on a ticket. How much money did each boy have left after buying his ticket? Write and solve an equation that represents he situatio.

Respuesta :

Answer:

x = (40/4)-7.50

x= (10)-7.50

x = 2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

each boy had 2.50 left after the movie because miguel went with 3 other boys, which makes four of them all together. If they had forty dollars all together and all had the same amount of money, you can determine that amount by dividing forty(total money) by 4(number of boys). Which gets you to the answer of ten dollars each. Then you subtract the ticket cost(7.50) from 10 dollars, which gets you to 2.50 left over.
