How much total money would Nathaniel have to pay for his family if he were to buy 3 snacks for everybody to share? How much would Nathaniel have to pay if he bought xx snacks for everybody to share?

Answer 1

Total cost = ( cost of movie ticket x number of people who went to the movies + (cost of snacks x number of snacks bought)

Total cost = ($12 x 3) + ($3.50 x 3)
