Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. 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 = $7.50. So two adult tickets cost $7.50 x 2 = $15. Four children's tickets cost $4.25 x 4 = $17. So the total cost of all the tickets amounted to $15 + $17 = $32. The family had a discount, so they paid a total of $32 - $2 = $30.
The final answer: 30.
