Omar and Lucia went to a movie theater. The cost of a movie ticket for an adult is
$12.50, and a child ticket is $8. Omar bought 3 adult tickets for himself, his wife, and his
friend Joseph, and 2 child tickets for his kids David and Lilly. How much did Omar spend
on movie tickets?
a
$20.50
b
$25.50
c
$37.50
d
$53.50
The cost of tickets for Omar and Lucia is 3 x $12.50 = $<<3*12.50=37.50>>37.50.
The cost of tickets for David and Lilly is 2 x $8 = $<<2*8=16>>16.
So, Omar spent $37.50 + $16 = $<<37.50+16=53.50>>53.50 on movie tickets.
The answer is d) $53.50.
