Last Saturday, the MoviePlex theater sold 1,603 tickets. The theater sold 6 times as many regular-price tickets as it sold discount tickets. Earls says that the expression 1,603 divided by 6 gives the number of discount tickets. Is Earl correct? What is the correct expression?

Answer:

  • not correct
  • 1603/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Earl would be correct if 1603 were the count of regular-price tickets. However, it is the total of regular price and discount tickets, so Earl is not correct.

Discount tickets are 1 in every 1+6 = 7 tickets sold, so the correct expression would be ...

  1603 ÷ 7
