for a class trip a teacher brought 25 students tickets and 5 adult tickets:
~ write an expression for the total cost of tickets purchased
~if students tickets cost $4 each and adult tickets cost $6 each, how much money did the teacher spend on tickets?
25s+5a
25(5)+5(6) = 155
To find the total cost of tickets purchased, we need to consider the number of student tickets and adult tickets, as well as the cost per ticket.
1. Expression for the total cost:
Let's denote the cost of a student ticket as "S" and the cost of an adult ticket as "A". The expression for the total cost would be:
Total Cost = (Number of student tickets) x (Cost per student ticket) + (Number of adult tickets) x (Cost per adult ticket)
2. Given information:
In this case, we know that there are 25 student tickets and 5 adult tickets. We also know that student tickets cost $4 each and adult tickets cost $6 each.
Now, let's substitute the values into the expression to find the total cost:
Total Cost = (25) x ($4) + (5) x ($6)
Total Cost = $100 + $30
Total Cost = $130
Therefore, the teacher spent $130 on tickets for the class trip.
