Question

Jose paid $47.00 for 4 movie tickets. Each ticket cost the same amount. What was the cost of each movie ticket in dollars and cents?

Answer 1

To find the cost of each movie ticket, we need to divide the total amount Jose paid by the number of tickets he purchased.

Given:
- Total cost for 4 tickets = $47.00
- Number of tickets = 4

Now, we can calculate the cost of one ticket:

\[
\text{Cost of one ticket} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of tickets}} = \frac{47.00}{4}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\frac{47.00}{4} = 11.75
\]

Thus, the cost of each movie ticket is $11.75.
