The Science Club went on a two-day field trip. The first day the members paid $60 for transportation plus $15 per ticket to the planetarium. The second day they paid $95 for transportation plus $12 per ticket to the geology museum. Write an expression to represent the total cost for two days for the n members of the club.
Thank you so much!

Answer 1

Day 1 total $60+$15=$75
day 2 total $95+$12=$107
total 2 days = $181

Answer 2

Answer:

Total cost for two days for the n members of the club = 155 + 27 n

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of persons = n

The first day the members paid $60 for transportation plus $15 per ticket to the planetarium.

Day 1 cost = 60 + 15 x n = 60 + 15 n

The second day they paid $95 for transportation plus $12 per ticket to the geology museum.

Day 2 cost = 95 + 12 x n = 95 + 12 n

Total cost = Day 1 cost + Day 2 cost

Total cost = 60 + 15 n + 95 + 12 n = 155 + 27 n

Total cost for two days for the n members of the club = 155 + 27 n
