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. (3 points)
This is the concept of simultaneous equations; We are required to create the equations modelling the above information. Suppose the number of movie tickets was x and the number of meal tickets was y. Therefore; Total number of tickets was: x+y=22 Total amount earned was: 0.5x+2y=25 The simultaneous equations representing the information is: x+y=22 0.5x+2y=25
