Question

Six friends attend a music concert and spend $27 per ticket. They each purchase a souvenir t-shirt. If the friends spend a total of $231, how much does each souvenir t-shirt cost

Answer 1

11.50

Explanation:

6x27=162

231+-162=69

69 divided by 6 is 11.5

11.5=11.50

11.50 is your answer

Answer 2

$11.50.

Explanation:

If there are 6 friends, and every ticket costs $27, then we need to multiply.

6 x 27 = 162.

Then, we subtract the cost of the tickets so we can find the total cost of the souvenir t-shirts.

231 - 162 = 69.

Since each of the 6 friends bought a souvenir t-shirt, we divide the total cost by the number of people.

`(69)/(6)` = 11.5.

So, each t-shirt costs $11.50.
