Don and 3 friends went to the movies. They originally had a total of $40. Each boy had the same amount of money and spent $7.50 on a ticket. How much money did each boy have left after buying his ticket ? Write the algebraic equation and solve.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Each boy will have

$2.50 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

If each boy of the total of 4 boys had an equal share of the $40, it means that each boy had 40/4=$10 each. Now each boy spent $7.50 on a movie ticket.

Therefore the amount each boy will have left is:

x=10-7.50

x=2.50
