Question

Eduardo is 16. Eduardo’s dad takes him and his younger sister to a soccer match. Tickets are $17 for adults and $13 for children (18 and under). Write an expression for the total cost of the tickets. What is the total cost of the tickets?

Answer 1

X= 17a + 13c
X is total cost
a is the total number of adult tickets being bought
c is the total number of child tickets being bought

In the world problem, we learn Eduardo's dad is purchasing 1 adult ticket and 2 child tickets. This gives us: X= 17(1) + 13(2)
X= 17 + 26

X= 43

$43 was the total cost of the tickets
