Question

Sully and genesis purchase 2 matinee tickets. A matinee ticket cost $6.50, a drink cost $5.50 and a bag of popcorn cost $6.00. Define each variable and write an expression to describe how much they spent bases on a number of drinks and bags of popcorn they buy. Identity the parts if the expression by underlining the coefficient circling the constant and drawing a box around the cariable

Answer 1

Let us represent the number of tickets bought with t, the number of drinks bought with d, and the number of bags of popcorn bought with b. The expression for total cost becomes,

6.5t + 5.5d + 6b

We know that two tickets were bought, so we may plug in 2 for t and get the final expression:
6.5(2) + 5.5d + 6b

13 + 5.5d + 6b
