Question

A theater company charges $5.50 per ticket for people of all age groups. If c represents the total number of children who brought tickets and a represents the total number of adults who bought tickets, which expression best represents the total money earned by the company from the sale of tickets?

Answer 1

Answer:

$5.50c+5.50a$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 ticket = $5.50

Total number of children who brought tickets = c

Total number of adults who bought tickets = a

Amount earned from selling tickets to children = 5.50 c

Amount earned from selling tickets to adults = 5.50 a

Therefore,

Total money earned by the company from the sale of tickets = $5.50c+5.50a$
