A family of 4 is going to the movie theater. They have coupons which mean that each ticket is $2 off the original price. Because of the coupons, they only pay $40 in total. How much did each ticket cost originally (BEFORE the coupons)?

Well if there’s 4 people and they each have a coupon, then that means that they would have to buy 4 tickets, and each coupon takes off 2 dollars so it would take off 8 dollars, so if you add the 8 dollars back on 40 + 8 = 48 then you get 48, now we need to know the price of a ticket, so what’s 1/4 of 48? It’s 12.

Therefore your answer is 12
