Question

A movie theater in town posted these prices for tickets and snacks.

 

Sally and Anne went to the movies. They each purchased a drink. They also bought one popcorn and one veggie cup to share. Which expression can be used to find how much money each woman spent?

9+1.35+2(3.50+1.7)

 

Answer 1

Sally and Anne both needed a ticket, so each paid $9 for the ticket.

Then they each bought a drink costing $1.35.

But they shared popcorn and a veggie cup costing $3.50+$1.74, so the cost to each woman was ½(3.50+1.74).

We're looking for 9+1.35+½(3.50+1.74) in the answer. So answer 2 must be the right answer!
