Question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Latavia purchased adult and child tickets for the fall festival. Tickets cost $14.88 for each adult and $8.88 for each child. Let x represent the number of adult tickets purchased and y represent the number of child tickets purchased. Write an expression to represent the total cost of the tickets Latavia purchased. ($14.88 + $8.88)(x + y) ($14.88 - $8.88)(x + y) $14.88y + $8.88x $14.88x + $8.88y

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It's so similar to your previous question! :O Why don't you try doing it first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you explain it one more time please

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Ticket for adult cost $14.88 each and there are x adults so money spent on adult tickets = 14.88 \(\times x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

theres no multiple choice for this one.. so just explain it :) Emerson purchased a game that was on sale for 18% off. The sales tax in his county is 8%. Let y represent the original price of the game. Write an expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.. theres no multiple choice for this one.. so just explain the answer and the steps to how you got the answer please :) Emerson purchased a game that was on sale for 18% off. The sales tax in his county is 8%. Let y represent the original price of the game. Write an expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the game.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

First tell me if sales tax counted on cost price or discounted price?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

counted

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Whenever a item is purchased on sale then tax is counted on discounted price, ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (abhisar):

one min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Ok, so discount is 18%, so the new price will become y-18% of y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the first step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok continue...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Abhisar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

OOps..sorry. Finally you would have to add 8% to the calculated amount and that would be your final cost.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so theres only 2 steps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Abhisar whats the fully completed answer with steps included?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
