C= number of children tickets
a= number of adult tickets

In the equation, $9.50 per ticket must be multiplied by each c and a in order to calculate the total.

($9.50 * c) + ($9.50 * a)

since each term has $9.50 in it, we can pull out the common $9.50 in each

$9.50(c + a)

this expression now means that we must multiply $9.50 by c and then multiply $9.50 by a (using the distributive property)

ANSWER: $9.50(c + a) - the second choice down

Hope this helps! :)

Explanation:

Every ticket costs $9.50

And c + a is the total number of people who bought tickets

So, to find the total price, you must multiply the ticket price by the amount of tickets sold.
