the movies because they paid the most money.
Given that the science club paid $170 for 40 tickets to the space museum, the cost per ticket for the space museum is $170/40 = $4.25 per ticket.
Similarly, for the movies, the science club paid $180 for 45 tickets, so the cost per ticket for the movies is $180/45 = $4 per ticket.
Since $4.25 per ticket for the space museum is greater than $4 per ticket for the movies, the science club paid more per ticket for the space museum. Therefore, the correct answer is the space museum.
The science club at the local high school went on a field trip to a museum and a movie. They paid $170 for 40 tickets to the space museum and $180 for 45 tickets to the movies. For which activity did the science club pay more per ticket? How do you know?(1 point)
