Julia and her 4 friends went to a movie. they each bought a drink for $2.25 and a ticket for $ 9.00. they shared 2 packages of candy for $ 4.75 each and one large popcorn for $ 6.50. if they each spent the same amount of money, how much did each person pay?

(My process of thinking)

Julia and her 4 friends went to a movie. Now I know that in total, there are five of them. They(all five of them) bought a drink for $2.25 and a ticket for $9.00. So, they each bought a drink for $2.25 and a ticket for $9.00. They also shared 2 packages of candy for $4.75 each($4.75 every package of candy) and one large popcorn for $6.50. If they each spent the same amount of money, how much did each pay? This is actually going to be sort of easy, using the expression below:

Julia and her 4 friends in total equals 5. So I am most likely going to do 5 times everything given the question above.

First, I am going to have to find the total amount they spent, then divide by 5 because that is the total amount of friends. I am going to show how I did so step-by-step:

Expression: 

5 Friends = x  

(x * 2.25) + (x + 9.00) + (2 * 4.75 + 6.50)x = ?  

Step 1: Find how much the drinks and tickets are worth.

5 * 2.25 = 11.25 And we have to add in the tickets.
5 * 9.00 = 45.00

Step 2: Then find out the worth of the packages of candy and popcorn.

2 * 4.75 = 9.50 Now, to add the popcorn.
9.50 + 6.50 =  16

Step 3: Add everything to find the total of the cost.

16 + 45.00 = 61

Step 4: Divide the total cost by the number of people there to find how much each person paid.

61/5 = $12.20 

Therefore, every friend paid $12.20. I really hope this answer helped you!! :D

it is a 7 step process explained in explanation section

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

fill 7 litre bucket then pour it in 4 liter bucket

output: 7 litre bucket has 3 litres and 4 litres bucket has 4 liter in it

Step two

drain four liter bucket and pour 3 liter from 7 litre bucket in it

output: 7 litre bucket has 0 litres and 4 litres bucket has 3 liter in it

step 3

fill 7 litre bucket and transfer water from it in 4 liter bucket which has already 3 liter in it

output: 7 litre bucket has 6 litres and 4 litres bucket has 4 liter in it

step 4

drain four liter bucket and pour 4 liter from 7 litre bucket which has 6 litre in it

output: 7 litre bucket has 2 litres and 4 litres bucket has 4 liter in it

step 5

drain 4 litre bucket and pour 2 litre from 7 litre bucket

output: 7 litre bucket has 0 litres and 4 litres bucket has 2 liter in it.

step 6

fill 7 liter bucket fully

output: 7 litre bucket has 7 litres and 4 litres bucket has 2 liter in it.

step 7

pour water from 7 liter bucket in 4 litre bucket which has already 2 litre in it

output: 7 litre bucket has 5 litres and 4 litres bucket has 4 liter in it.
