Question

Admission to the circus is $16 for adults and eight dollars for children write an expression to find the total cost of three adult tickets and 8 children’s tickets then find the total cost

Answer 1

Answer:

T=16A+8C using T for the total cost, A for the number of adults and C for the number of childran..

Explanation:

Let A represent the number of adults attending, and C be the number of children.

Since each adult pays $16, "A" adults would pay 16A dollars. Similarly for children; since each pays $8, C of them would pay 8C dollars.

The expression we want is

T=16A+8C

using T for the total cost.

With the numbers stated above, 3 adults and 8 children would cost

#T=16(3) + 8(8)=48 + 64=112

$112 for this group.
