The science club at the local high school went on a field trip to the museum and a movie. They paid 170 for 40 tickets to the space museum and 180 for 45 tickets to the movies which activity did the science pay more per ticket how do you know?

Answer 1

To determine which activity the science club paid more per ticket, we can calculate the cost per ticket for each activity.

1. Space Museum:

   • Total cost: $170
   • Total tickets: 40
   • Cost per ticket = Total cost / Total tickets \[ \text{Cost per ticket for Space Museum} = \frac{170}{40} = 4.25 \] So, the cost per ticket for the Space Museum is $4.25.

2. Movies:

   • Total cost: $180
   • Total tickets: 45
   • Cost per ticket = Total cost / Total tickets \[ \text{Cost per ticket for Movies} = \frac{180}{45} = 4.00 \] So, the cost per ticket for the Movies is $4.00.

Now, comparing the two costs per ticket:

• Space Museum: $4.25
• Movies: $4.00

Therefore, the science club paid more per ticket for the Space Museum, as $4.25 is greater than $4.00.
