Step-by-step explanation:

To make solving this equation easier, lets turn the the information we got in the question into an actual equation.

Key information:

4 tickets

$12 popcorn

Spent a TOTAL of $40.

With the information above, we can use it to make an equation.

We would use the equation: y = mx + b

Since our "y" value would represent our total value, our total value is 40, so we would plug 40 into y.

Your equation should look like this:

40 = mx + b

Our "b" value represents our start value, and our start value would be 12 because we started with one $12 popcorn.

Your equation should look like this:

40 = mx + 12

Our "m" value would represent how many tickets we bought, so we would plug in 4 in m.

Our equation would be:

40 = 4x + 12

Now we can solve the equation:

We would move the 12 over to the left side of the equal sign by subtracting, then we would divide by 4.

We should get ther answer of 7, that means that each ticket cost $7 dollars.

7 dollars should be your FINAL answer.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
