Eight friends went to a hockey game. The price of admission per person was $x. Four of the friends paid an extra $6 each for a player guide book. Write and simplify an expression that represents thr total cost.
X=3
To find the total cost, we need to calculate the sum of the admission price for each person and the extra cost for the player guide book for the four friends.
The admission price per person is given as $x, so the total cost for admission without the player guide book is 8 * x.
For the four friends who bought the player guide book, they paid an extra $6 each. So, the total additional cost for the player guide book is 4 * $6.
Therefore, the expression that represents the total cost is:
8x + 4 * $6.
To simplify this expression, we can multiply 4 by $6 to get $24. Hence, the simplified expression for the total cost is:
8x + $24.
4x + 4(x+6) = total
I'll let you simplify.
