Question

six friends are going to the state fair.The cost of one admission is $9.50, and the cost for one ride on the Ferris wheel is $1.50. Write two equivalent expression and then find the total cost

Answer 1

We are given

total number of friends =6

the cost of one admission is $9.50

now, we can find total cost for admission

total cost for admission= total number of friends*cost of one admission

total cost for admission=6*9.50

we are given

cost for one ride on the Ferris wheel is $1.50

now, we can find total cost for Ferris wheel ride

total cost for Ferris wheel ride= total number of friends*cost of one ride

total cost for Ferris wheel ride=6*1.50

now, we can find total cost

total cost =total cost for admission+total cost for Ferris wheel ride

total cost$=6*9.50+6*1.50$

now, we can solve it

total cost$=6(9.50+1.50)$

total cost$=6*11$

total cost$=66$

so, the total cost is $66...........Answer
