Example 1: How much is the family vacation?
Scenario 1
During one rainy day on the vacation, the entire family decided to go watch a matinee movie in the morning and a drive-in movie in the evening. The price for a matinee movie in the morning is different than the cost of a drive-in movie in the evening. The tickets for the matinee morning movie cost $6 each. How much did each person spend that day on movie tickets if the ticket cost for each family member was the same? What was the cost for a ticket for the drive-in movie in the evening?
Scenario 2
For dinner one night, the family went to the local pizza parlor. The cost of a soda was $3. If each member of the family had a soda and one slice of pizza, how much did one slice of pizza cost?’
Scenario 3
One night, John, Louie and Bonnie went to the see the local baseball team play a game. They each bought a ticket to see the game and a hat that cost $10 each. How much was each ticket to enter the ballpark?
Scenario 4
While John, Louie and Bonnie went to see the baseball game, Ag and Missy went shopping. They bought a t-shirt for each member of the family and bought two pairs of sandals that cost $10 each. How much was each T-shirt?
Using the results, determine the cost of:
1. A slice of pizza, 1 plane ticket, 2 nights in the motel, and 1 evening movie
2. One t-shirt, 1 ticket to the baseball game, 1 day of the rental car

The Sweetest Chocolate Milk
Jenny was mixing herself a glass of chocolate milk. “You certainly have enough chocolate syrup in the glass,” remarked Kevin. Kevin then found a glass of milk of his own to drink.
“Only a third of a glass of syrup,” said Jenny. “And you’re certainly taking your share.”
“I only have one-fourth of a glass,” estimated Kevin.
“But Kevin, your glass holds twice as much!”
“Tell you what,” said Kevin, after they both had mixed milk and syrup in their glasses. “Let’s combine our drinks in a larger pitcher, and then split the whole amount.”
While Jenny is trying to decide whether or not this arrangement is to her advantage, can you say what part of the combined mixture would be syrup?
Use pictures, numbers, and/or words to show your solution strategy. (Note: By “her advantage” we mean the sweetest chocolate milk.)
