B

C
0.25x+3x

D
3x+0.25

E
0.25+3x

F
3.25x

Answer 1

Answer:

A) $3+0.25x$

B) $0.25x+3$    

Step-by-step explanation:

Admission charges = $3

Cost of activity ticket purchased = $0.25 per ticket

Given that $x$ represents the number of activity tickets purchased.

Using unitary method.

If 1 ticket costs = $0.25

∴ $x$ tickets purchased will cost in dollars = $0.25\times x=0.25x$

∴ Total cost of attending the event =$Admission\ charge\ + Cost\ of\ activity\ tickets\ purchased$ = $3+0.25x$

By commutative property the expression can also be written as

$0.25x+3$         [As $a+b=b+a$ ]
