Question

I am a little stuck I just don’t really get expressions

Answer 1

Answer:

$66.50

Step-by-step explanation:

lets break this down a bit:

the tickets are $16 each

there is an additional $2.50 added when tickets are bought online, its a one time fee and does not apply to every ticket

n represents the amount of tickets bought

you're on the right track so far, the expression is as follows:

16n +2.50   <---n is placed next to the 16 because we are calculating the amount of tickets bought and their price plus the one time service fee of $2.50

we are then told that 4 tickets were bought

in this expression, n = 4, so we substitute 4 into the equation for n

16(4) + 2.50

16 x 4 = 64

instead of multiplying like you did on the worksheet, you would add since the original expression we wrote plus 2.50, not times 2.50

64 + 2.50 = 66.50

so, the total price for 4 tickets bought online is $66.50

you were on the right track! let me know if you need anything else cleared up about expressions
