Question
If seven movie tickets cost $57.40, how much would 5 tickets cost?
57.40 : 7 = 8.20 (1 ticket cost)
8.20 * 5 = 41$ (5 thickets cost)
or
57.4 : 7 * 5 = 41$
$41.00
divide $57.40 by 7 to obtain cost of 1 ticket and multiply this by 5 for cost of 5 tickets
cost = [tex]\frac{57.40}{7}[/tex] × 5 = $41.00
