Answer 2

Answer:

$68.00

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 tickets for movies cost $51 then how much will 8 tickets for the movie cost?

First thing to do is take 51 and 6 then divide them.

If you divided correctly you should have got 8.5 which is $8.50

This tells us that 1 ticket for the movie is $8.50.

The last thing to do is multiply 8.5 and 8.

If you divided correctly you should have got 68

This tells us that 8 tickets for movies cost $68.00.
