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?

How much do adult tickets cost? ** The adult tickets cost $4.25 + $3.25 = $<<4.25+3.25=7.50>>7.50.
How much do two adult tickets cost? ** So two adult tickets cost $7.50 x 2 = $<<7.5*2=15>>15.
How much do four children's tickets cost? ** Four children's tickets cost $4.25 x 4 = $<<4*4.25=17>>17.
How much did they spend? ** So the total cost of all the tickets amounted to $15 + $17 = $<<15+17=32>>32.
How much did they spend? ** The family had a discount, so they paid a total of $32 - $2 = $<<32-2=30>>30.
