Joylin win a $50 gift card for the local movie theater. She uses the entire amount on the card to purchase tickets and snacks for her family. If Joylin spends $6 more on tickets than she does on snacks, how much does Joylin spend on tickets?

Let s be the amount Joylin spends on snacks; then tickets cost s + $6. Since she spends the full $50, s + (s + $6) = $50, so 2s = $44 and s = $22. Tickets cost $22 + $6 = $28, so the correct choice is $28.
