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 statement "The school will buy 52 tickets for the musical. Tickets cost $25.00 for each student and $2.00 for each teacher" correctly describes the cost function.
The second statement "Tickets cost $52.00 each, and there are 25 students and 2 teachers going on the field trip" does not accurately describe the cost function because it misrepresents the ticket cost as $52.00 each.
The third statement "A total of 52 people, which includes 25 students and 2 teachers, will attend the field trip" does not accurately describe the cost function because it does not include the cost of the tickets.
The fourth statement "The bus fits 52 people, including 25 students and 2 teachers" does not accurately describe the cost function because it is describing the capacity of the bus rather than the cost.
The fifth statement "Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip" does not accurately describe the cost function because it includes the cost of the bus, which is not included in the given cost function.
