3. Greg's family went to the movie theater and bought tickets and popcorn. They spent $35 altogether with $9.50

spent on popcorn.

Write an equation that can be used to find out how much

money x they spent on tickets. (DO NOT use $ in your

equation, please.)

McGraw

$25.50

Step-by-step explanation:

35 - 9.5 = x

25.5 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p=pop corn and x=tickets.

Because they have $9.50 on popcorn you should subtract 9.50 from 35. This gives you $25.50 dollars.

Because you know that they used the rest of the money to but tickets, they spent $25.50 on tickets

Therefore the equation should be 35-9.50=x or x=35-9.50
