You and six friends go to a movie. The tickets cost $7.50 each. You each buy a drink for $2.00 and a box of popcorn for $3.75. Write an expression that represents the total amount of money spent. Then evaluate the expression.
(6+1)(7.5 + 2 +3.75) = ?
To find the total amount of money spent, we need to calculate the cost of the movie tickets for 7 people, the cost of drinks for 7 people, and the cost of popcorn for 7 people.
First, let's find the total cost of movie tickets by multiplying the cost per ticket ($7.50) by the number of people (7):
Total cost of movie tickets = $7.50 * 7
Next, let's calculate the total cost of drinks by multiplying the cost per drink ($2.00) by the number of people (7):
Total cost of drinks = $2.00 * 7
Finally, let's determine the total cost of popcorn by multiplying the cost per box ($3.75) by the number of people (7):
Total cost of popcorn = $3.75 * 7
To find the total amount of money spent, we need to add up the cost of movie tickets, drinks, and popcorn:
Total amount spent = Total cost of movie tickets + Total cost of drinks + Total cost of popcorn
Now, let's substitute the values we found into the expression and evaluate it:
Total amount spent = ($7.50 * 7) + ($2.00 * 7) + ($3.75 * 7)
Total amount spent = $52.50 + $14.00 + $26.25
Total amount spent = $92.75
Therefore, the expression for the total amount of money spent is $92.75.
