MCQ - 485-13252

Question:

The cost of a drive-in movie is $y per vehicle. A group of friends in a van shared the admission cost by paying $0.40 each. If 6 more friends had gone along, everyone would have paid only $0.25 each. What is the value of $y?

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

Let x represent the original number of friends who shared the van.

Set up the equation like so:

0.25(6 + x) = 0.4x

1.5 + 0.25x = 0.4x

1.5 = 0.4x - 0.25x

1.5 = 0.15x

x = 10

Therefore, originally it was 10 friends that split the cost of the van and had to pay $0.40 each.

To find the cost of the van:

10 x $0.40 = $4

Therefore the value of the van is $4 (y = 4).
