Eight friends went to a hockey game. The price of the admission per person was $x. Four of the friends paid an extra $6 each for players guide book. Write and simplify an expression that represents the total cost.
4x + 4(x + 6)
8x + 24 = 8(x+3)
The total cost can be represented by the expression:
8x + 4(6)
Simplifying this expression, we get:
8x + 24
To represent the total cost, we need to consider two factors: the admission price per person and whether they purchased the players guide book.
Let's break down the total cost step by step:
1. Admission Price: Since there are eight friends and the admission price per person is $x, the cost of admission for all friends will be 8x dollars.
2. Extra Cost for the Guide Book: Four of the friends decided to buy the players guide book and paid an additional $6 each. So, the total extra cost for the guide book will be 4 * $6, which simplifies to $24.
3. Total Cost: To find the total cost, we add the cost of admission to the extra cost for the guide book. Hence, the total cost is 8x + $24.
Therefore, the expression that represents the total cost is 8x + $24.
