Answer 1

Each ticket price = $ 8

Total Reserved Money = $ 48

We want to know how many people can attend with those 48 dollars. Let this unknown be "x".

Let "x" be the number of people that can attend the movie.

To find x, we can divide the total amount they ahve ($48) by each ticket price ($8).
