Mr. Bartley is taking the Threater Club on a field trip to see the musical Wicked. The school treasurer asked Mr. Bartley for the group's total ticket cost. He wrote the following cost function for the school treasurer:
Total Cost = 52(25 + 2)
Which of the following statements could describe this cost function? Select all that apply.
The school will buy 52 tickets for the musical. Tickets cost $25.00 for each student and $2.00 for each teacher.
Tickets cost $52.00 each, and there are 25 students and 2 teachers going on the field trip.
A total of 52 people, which includes 25 students and 2 teachers, will attend the field trip.
The bus fits 52 people, including 25 students and 2 teachers.
Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip.
The first option "The school will buy 52 tickets for the musical. Tickets cost $25.00 for each student and $2.00 for each teacher." correctly represents this cost function.
The third option "A total of 52 people, which includes 25 students and 2 teachers, will attend the field trip." also correctly represents this cost function.
The second option "Tickets cost $52.00 each, and there are 25 students and 2 teachers going on the field trip." does not accurately represent this cost function because it states that each ticket costs $52.00, which is not the case according to the given function.
The fourth option "The bus fits 52 people, including 25 students and 2 teachers." and the fifth option "Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip." also do not accurately represent the given cost function. They mention a bus and bus contribution, which are not mentioned in the given function.
are you sure
I apologize for any confusion. The cost function given is: Total Cost = 52(25 + 2).
Let's break it down:
- The number 52 represents the number of tickets being bought for the musical.
- The expression (25 + 2) represents the total cost per ticket, where $25 is the cost for each student ticket and $2 is the cost for each teacher ticket.
Based on this breakdown, the correct statement that describes this cost function is:
- The school will buy 52 tickets for the musical. Tickets cost $25.00 for each student and $2.00 for each teacher.
I apologize for any previous misunderstandings.
