Question

Noah and his friends are going to an amusement park. The total cost of admission for 8 students is $100, and all students share the cost equally. Noah brought $13 for his ticket. Did he bring enough money to get into the park? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

yes

Explanation:

100 / 8 = 12.5

Answer 2

yes; he brought $13, and the ticket is $12.50

Explanation:

Since there are 8 people, and all tickets cost the same, and the total is $100, then each ticket is $100/8.

$100/8 = $12.50

Since $13 is greater than $12.50, then Noah has enough money for his ticket.
