Question

a ticket to the circus cost $7 for children's. Adult ticket cost $3 more. If a family with 2 adult 3 children buy ticket, what is the total cost?

Answer 1

Hi! The total cost of this circus trip for the family would be 41 or $41.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 7+3 to get the total amount 1 ticket for 1 adult would be, it would be 10. So 10+10 for both adult tickets would be $20.  3 child tickets would cost $21 (7x3 or 7+7+7). Last, you would add up 20+21 and would get 41 and just add the dollar sign in front.

Hope this helps! Have a good day!

Answer 2

X = number of adult tickets
7x = value of the adult tickets

3x = number of child tickets
3x * 3 = value of children's tickets, which is also 9x

Value of adults plus value of children's = 6000

7x + 9x = 6000
Combine terms
16x = 6000
Divide by 16
x = 6000/16
Simplify fraction
x = 3000/8 = 1500/4 = 750/2 = 375 = number of adult tickets

Number of children's tickets = 3 * 375 = 1125 = number of children's tickets

Check:
Adults = 375 * 7 = 2625
Children's = 1125 * 3 = 3375
Total = 6000
