Question 1
Conor is going to the movie theater. A ticket to a movie costs t dollars, and there is a
15% amusement tax on each ticket.
a. Conor buys a ticket to see a movie. Write two expressions in terms of t
showing his total cost.
The first expression showing Conor's total cost is t + 0.15t, which accounts for the cost of the ticket plus the 15% amusement tax.
The second expression showing Conor's total cost is 1.15t, which simplifies the previous expression by combining like terms.
