There are four movies showing at the movie theatre. 2/3 of the people bought comedy, 1/4 bought tickets for horror movie, and 3/10 bought tickets for the kids movie what fraction represents the number of people who bought tickets for the action movie

The fraction of people for 4th movie is 0.1167

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people that bought a comedy movie ticket = 2/3

The number of people that bought the horror movie ticket = 1/4

The number of people that bought kids movie ticket = 3/10

Total number people for three movies = 2/3 + ¼ + 3/10 = 0.8833

The fraction of people for 4th movie = 1 – 0.8833 = 0.1167

Maria : 26.50 - 0.25(26.50) = 26.50 - 6.625 = 19.88
            19.87 + 0.10(19.87) = 19.87 + 1.99 = 21.86

Edwin : 0.75(26.50) = 19.88
             1.10(19.88) = 21.86

and if they each have $ 23, then yes, they both ave enough money to buy the book. They both were correct in their calculations. Because taking 25% off, is the same as paying 75%and taking the discount price and subtracting 10% from that, is the same as multiplying by 110%. So they basically worked the same problem, just in a little different way...and they both ended up with the same answer
