Ashley and her family went to the movies on Saturday. Children’s tickets cost $4.25 and adult tickets cost $3.25 more. They were given a $2 discount for buying more than 3 tickets. How much did they spend if they bought two adult tickets and four children’s tickets?
The adult tickets cost $4.25 + $3.25 = $
<gadget id="calculator">4.25+3.25</gadget>
<output>7.5</output>
7.50.
So two adult tickets cost $7.50 x 2 = $
<gadget id="calculator">7.5*2</gadget>
<output>15</output>
15.
Four children's tickets cost $4.25 x 4 = $
<gadget id="calculator">4*4.25</gadget>
<output>17</output>
17.
So the total cost of all the tickets amounted to $15 + $17 = $
<gadget id="calculator">15+17</gadget>
<output>32</output>
32.
The family had a discount, so they paid a total of $32 - $2 = $
