Brandon earns a rebate each month on his meals and movie tickets. He earns $0.50 for each movie ticket and $2 for each meal. Last month Brandon purchased 22 movie tickets and earned $25.

Part A: Create an equation that will determine the number of meals he purchased.

Part B: Solve this equation justifying each step with an algebraic property of equality.

Part C: How many meals did Brandon purchase last month?​

Respuesta :

.50t + 2m= c

.50(22)+2m= 25

11+2m = 25

2m = 14

m = 7 meals

t : tickets for the movie
m: meals purchased
c: cost
