For a large group of students, the Boston Ballet charges a flat rate of $50.00, plus $15.00 per ticket. How much would a school need to take a class of 25 students to see The Nutcracker? Use an equation with two variables to solve this problem.
• $50.00
• $1,265.00
• $375.00
• $425.00
The cost of the tickets for a group of 25 students can be calculated using the equation: Cost = $50.00 + $15.00 * Number of Students
Plugging in the given information, the equation becomes: Cost = $50.00 + $15.00 * 25
Simplifying the equation gives: Cost = $50.00 + $375.00
Calculating the sum gives: Cost = $425.00
Therefore, the school would need $425.00 to take a class of 25 students to see The Nutcracker. The correct option is:
• $425.00
