carnival m charges an entree of $5.00 and $0.65 per tickets for the ride carnival p charges an entree fee of $10.00 and $0.45 per tickets for the ride. How many tickets must be purchased in order for the total cost at carnival m and carnival p to be the same?

i know the answer is 25 but can someone please explain?! Thanks!

5.00 + (0.65 * x) = 10.00 + (0.45 * x)

.20 x = 5.00

Can someone tell me why we multiply those numbers?

but can someone like write the equation step by step?

thank u!

The carnival sold 24 tickets, if each ticket cost $0.45 how much money did carnival make

You multiply those numbers because they're in parenthesis and every number inside parenthesis you distribute. distribute means t multiply btw!

7x

7x+1=10x

i think it is 20
