The expression 25c + 48a represents the total cost for a group of children and adults to attend the amusement park. The variable c represents the number of children attending. The variable a represents the number of adults attending. What is the total cost for 12 children and 4 adults? (4 points)
What is our expression with the values substituted in for the variables?
To find the total cost for 12 children and 4 adults, we substitute the values into the expression.
Given:
c = 12 (number of children)
a = 4 (number of adults)
Substituting the values into the expression 25c + 48a:
= 25(12) + 48(4)
= 300 + 192
= <<300+192=492>>492
Therefore, the total cost for 12 children and 4 adults is 492.
