Answer:
Part One: $187
Part Two: 11a + 5.5k
Step-by-step explanation:
Part One:
a = 9 (how many adult tickets)
k = 16 (how many kid tickets)
($11 × a) + ($5.50 × k) = total cost
($11 × 9) + ($5.50 × 16)
($99) + ($88) = $187 = total cost
Part Two:
11a + 5.5k
11 is how much the adult ticket costs, you multiply a or the amount of adult tickets in order to get the total cost for adults.
5.5 is how much the kid ticket costs, you multiply k or the amount of kid tickets in order to get the total cost for kids.
you add 11a + 5.5k or the total cost for adults and the total cost for kids to get the total cost.
