Five adults and two children go to see a movie and buy $12 worth of concessions. The total cost of their trip is $76. If each child's ticket is $7, how much, in dollars, are the adult tickets?
First take out the cost of the concessions. That leaves $76 - $12 = $<T>subtract(76, 12)=64 for the movie tickets
Each child ticket costs $7, so two children's tickets cost $7 per child ticket * 2 child tickets = $<T>multiply(7, 2)=14
To find the amount spent on adult tickets, subtract the cost of the children's tickets to get $64 - $14 = $<T>subtract(64, 14)=50 for adult tickets.
Divide $50 for adult tickets / 5 adults = $<T>divide(50, 5)=10.0 per adult ticket.
