Question

Michael took his younger brother to the movies. Michael paid regular price, but it cost $2 less for his brother at the child price. It cost Michael $12 total for the movie.

How much did it cost for his brother?

Answer 1

If it cost Michael $12 and his brother's ticket cost $2 less, then his brother's ticket cost would be $12 - $2 = $10.

So it cost $10 for his brother's ticket.
