how do i get these answers
To determine the statements that describe the given cost function, we need to analyze the expression and compare it with the given options.
The given cost function is: Total Cost = 52(25 + 2)
From this expression, we can see that the number 52 multiplied by the sum of 25 and 2 is the total cost.
Now let's analyze each option and see if it fits the cost function:
A. The school will buy 52 tickets for the musical. Tickets cost $25.00 for each student and $2.00 for each teacher.
This option describes the scenario where there are 52 tickets bought for the musical, but it does not mention the cost for each ticket or the total cost. It does not match the given cost function.
B. Tickets cost $52.00 each, and there are 25 students and 2 teachers going on the field trip.
This option states that each ticket costs $52 and there are 25 students and 2 teachers. This fits the given cost function where the total cost is determined by multiplying the number of tickets (52) by the cost of each ticket ($52).
C. A total of 52 people, which includes 25 students and 2 teachers, will attend the field trip.
This option describes the total number of people attending the field trip, but it does not mention the ticket cost or the total cost. It does not match the given cost function.
D. The bus fits 52 people, including 25 students and 2 teachers.
This option describes the seating capacity of the bus but does not mention the ticket cost or the total cost. It does not match the given cost function.
E. Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip.
This option states that each ticket costs $25, a $2 contribution is required for the bus, and there are 52 people going on the trip. This fits the given cost function where the total cost is determined by multiplying the number of people (52) by the sum of the ticket cost ($25) and the bus contribution ($2).
So, the correct statements that describe this cost function are B and E.
