$19.95x + $9.95y
$19.95y + $9.95x
($19.95 + $9.95)(x + y)
($19.95 - $9.95)(x + y)

Answer 1

Answer 2

I think It's A because it says that an adult ticket costs $19.95 and they said that x represents the adult tickets sold and the child tickets cost $9.95 and y represents the child tickets. They also ask for the total of them so that means the answer will be $19.95x + $9.95.

Answer 3

$19.95x + $9.95y. sry. Bad typing

Answer 4

I think this is correct.^

The cost of an adult ticket is $19.95 and The cost of an kids ticket is $9.95

The variables:

x= # of tickets for adults

y=# of tickets for kids

The cost of adult tickets + the cost of kids tickets is the total price.

As stated above, the cost of adult tickets is $19.95 and kids is $9.95.

So, \[19.95+9.95= Total\ price\]

So, however much people there were for adults (keep in mind that x= # of tickets for adults
and y=# of tickets for kids and that if there is something that said 5x that is the same thing as 5(x)), we would have to multiply it by 19.95 because 4 adults are buying tickets that cost $19.95 so 4 tickets are being bought so 1 person payed 19.95 then another and so on until 4. Same rule for the kids.

Take this for example

7 adults bought tickets

So 7 adults bought tickets for 19.95

So we must multiply 19.95 and 7 which is written as 19.95(7) and \[19.95(7)=139.65\] so $139.65 was the total amount paid by all the adults. That goes the same for the children

That's if you were trying to solve the whole thing.
