Question

Anna has a points card for a movie theater.

She receives 45 rewards points just for signing up.
She earns 14.5 points for each visit to the movie theater.
• She needs 219 points for a free movie ticket.
How many visits must Anna make to earn a free
movie ticket?

Answer 1

11 visits

Explanation:

45+14.5=59.5

219-59.5=159.5

159.5 divide by 14.5=11

11 is the answer.

Answer 2

12 trips

Explanation:

219 - 45 = 174

174 ÷ 14.5 = 12 (trips)

you subtract 45 from 219 because she will make that amount of points no matter what, then you divide to show the total amount of trips she needs to take
