i think this is right let me work it out

Answer 2

Answer:

2x + (0.05 × 2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Colin bought 2 theater tickets, Let x represent the cost of each ticket

The cost of 2 tickets = 2x

He paid a service charge of 5% for buying them from a ticket broker.

5% = $\frac{5}{100}$ = 0.05

So the expression to represent the total cost of the tickets =

2x + (0.05 × 2x)
