Jon is trying to decide where to buy discounted movie tickets.Costless sells a pack of 10 tickets for $70, and the website,Movies Unlimited,sells them at 8 tickets for $60.What is the unit price at each company?

Answer 1

To find the unit price at each company, you need to divide the total cost by the number of tickets.

1. Costless:

   • Total cost: $70
   • Number of tickets: 10
   • Unit price = Total cost / Number of tickets = $70 / 10 = $7.00 per ticket

2. Movies Unlimited:

   • Total cost: $60
   • Number of tickets: 8
   • Unit price = Total cost / Number of tickets = $60 / 8 = $7.50 per ticket

Summary:

• Costless: $7.00 per ticket
• Movies Unlimited: $7.50 per ticket

Jon should consider buying from Costless, as it has the lower unit price.
