5.5(c + a)
5.5c + a
c + 5.5a
11(c + a)

Answer 1

The expression 5.50(c+a) best represents the total money earned by the company from the sale of tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Charge per ticket = $5.50

Total number of children who bought ticket = c

Total number of adults who bought ticket = a

Cost for c tickets = 5.50c

Cost for a tickets = 5.50a

Total = 5.50c + 5.50a

Taking 5.50 common

Total = 5.50(c+a)

The expression 5.50(c+a) best represents the total money earned by the company from the sale of tickets.
