Alex is selling tickets to the school play. A student ticket costs $4.00 and an adult ticket costs $6.50. Alex sells x adult tickets and 12 student tickets.
Write a equation that represents how much money, m, Alex collected from selling tickets.
1 m = 10.50x
2 m = 6.5x + 48
3 m = 4x + 6.5x
4 m = 6.5x + 4x + 12
The correct equation that represents how much money Alex collected from selling tickets is:
m = 6.5x + 4(12) = 6.5x + 48.
