Question

Paula purchased adult and child tickets for the carnival. Tickets cost $19.95 for each adult and $9.95 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 Paula purchased.

Answer 1

if we have cost per item and # of items we can multiply them to find the total cost

therefore:

total cost = (adult price)*number of adult tickets + (child price)*number of child tickets

after that simply substitute the appropriate variables/prices to find the proper equation

lmk if you are having trouble or want to check your solution

Answer 2

im confused

Answer 3

adult price = 19.95
child price = 9.95
number of adult tickets = x
number of child tickets = y

plug these into the equation
total cost = (adult price)*number of adult tickets + (child price)*number of child tickets

to find the appropriate equation

Answer 4

Wait im a bit confused

Answer 5

"adult price = 19.95" means you can replace "adult price" with 19.95
"child price = 9.95" means you can replace "child price" with 9.95
"number of adult tickets = x" means you can replace "number of adult tickets" with x
"number of child tickets = y" means you can replace "number of child tickets" with y

perform these substitutions into
total cost = (adult price)*number of adult tickets + (child price)*number of child tickets

to obtain an equation
