Erica earns a rebate each month on her meals and movie tickets. she earns $3 for each movie ticket and $0.80 for each meal. last month erica purchased 15 meals and earned $18. part a: create an equation that will determine the number of movie tickets she purchased. part b: solve this equation justifying each step with an algebraic property of equality. part c: how many movie tickets did erica purchase last month?

Hello!

In this problem, Erica get 3 dollars for each movie ticket bought, and 80 cents for each meal. Before creating an equation, we can assign some variables.

m can be represented as number of meals

t can be represented as number of tickets

Part A: Create an equation.

For every ticket, Erica gets three dollars, which is shown by 3t. While for every meal, Erica gets 80 cents, which is shown by 0.80m. Also, last month, Erica earned 18 dollars in total. With that information, we can create our equation:

3t + 0.80m = 18

Part B: Solve this equation justifying each step.

3t + 0.80m = 18

3t + 0.80(15) = 18 (substitute the known values into the variable m)

3t + 12 = 18 (use the distributive property)

3t = 6 (subtract 12 from both sides)

t = 2 (divide both sides by 3)

Part C: How many movie tickets did Erica purchase?

From the work shown above, Erica bought two tickets last month.

whole numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the average monthly rainfall (in millimeters) model r(m) for the years 1900-2009 as a function of the month number m.

as we can see m is taken for the number of months for years 1900-2009.

we know that number of months can't be a negative number or decimal number or a fraction.

so, the number of months could be only positive whole numbers.

therefore, whole numbers is more appropriate for the domain of r.
