Write an equation that gives the balance remaining, B , on the gift card if Molly sees M movies after 4 o' clock?
.
ANSWER 1: B=$25-$9.25M
.
If Molly and 2 friends go to a movie showing at 7 o' clock on Saturday night, how much do they have to pay out of pocket, if anything, after redeeming the gift card?
Cost for 3 people (after 4:00pm)=3($9.25)=$27.75
Out of pocket cost=Cost-gift card=$27.75-$25=$2.75
.
ANSWER 2: Out of pocket cost is $2.75.
.
How much would they save by going to a 2 o' clock showing?
Savings per person before 4:00=(cost after 4:00)-(cost before 4:00)
Savings per person before 4:00=($9.25)-($6.50)=$2.75
Savings for 3 people=(3)(savings per person)=(3)($2.75)=%8.25
.
ANSWER: They would save $8.25 by going before 4:00.
