Jenny signs up for dinner theater with 5 of her friends. Each person pays $50 for the ticket and $10 for their entrée, and half the people also buy unlimited drink tickets for $30/person. Then the dinner theater is canceled due to COVID, and each person gets a 90% refund. How much money did the group of six friends lose?
How much did each person pay? ** First find the cost of the ticket and the entrée for each person: $50/person + $10/person = $<<50+10=60>>60/person
How much did the group of six friends pay? ** Then multiply that cost by the number of people to find the total cost of entrees and tickets: $60/person * 6 people = $<<60*6=360>>360
How many people ordered drink tickets? ** Now find how many people ordered drink tickets: 6 people / 2 = <<6/2=3>>3 people
How much did the group of three friends pay for drink tickets? ** Now find the total cost of the drink tickets: 3 people * $30/person = $<<3*30=90>>90
How much did the group of six friends lose? ** Now find the total cost of the evening: $90 + $360 = $<<90+360=450>>450
How much did the group of six friends get refunded? ** Now multiply this quantity by 90% to find the amount of the refund: $450 * .9 = $<<450*.9=405>>405
How much money did the group of six friends lose? ** Now subtract the refund amount from the total cost to find how much money the friends lost: $450 - $405 = $<<450-405=45>>45
