Michael took his younger brother to the movies. Michael paid regular price, but it cost $2 less for his brother at the child price. It cost Michael $12 total for the movie.How much did it cost for his brother?
Accepted Solution
A:
Based on the question they paid $12 in total for the movie. Also, that Michael's ticket cost $2 more than his brothers.12 = n + n - 2n = Michael's ticket.Combine Like Terms.12 = 2n - 2Add 2 to both sides.12 + 2 = 2n - 2 + 2Simplify.14 = 2nDivide 2 to both sides.14/2 = 2n/2Simplify7 = nNow, we know what Michael's ticket cost, we can subtract it by 2 to find how much his brother's ticket costs.$7 - $2 = $5-------------Option A is the correct answer.-------------Best Regards,Wolfyy :)
