Jan takes her 3 children and 2 neighbors children to a matinee. All of the children are under age 13. Write an expression for the total cost of admission? How much in all did Jane pay for admission?
Let's assume the cost of admission for each child is $x.
The expression for the total cost of admission would be: 3x + 2x
We can simplify this expression to get the total cost of admission: 5x
So, Jane paid a total of 5x for admission.
To find the expression for the total cost of admission, we need to know the cost of admission for each child. Let's assume the cost of admission for one child is "c" dollars.
Since Jan takes her 3 children and 2 neighbors' children, the total number of children is 3 + 2 = 5.
The expression for the total cost of admission can be written as: 5c.
To find how much Jan paid for admission, we need to know the value of "c".
To write an expression for the total cost of admission, we need to know the cost of admission for each child. Let's assume the cost of admission for one child is $X.
Jan takes her 3 children and 2 neighbors' children to the matinee, so the total number of children is 3 + 2 = 5.
To calculate the total cost of admission, we can multiply the cost of admission for one child ($X) by the total number of children (5). Therefore, the expression for the total cost of admission is 5X.
To find out how much Jane paid for admission, we need to know the actual cost of admission for one child ($X). Without that information, we cannot determine the exact amount Jane paid.
