Question

a theater sells 45 children's tickets for $8 each, The rest of the tickets sold were for adults, which cost $15 each, if x represents the number of adult tickets sold, which expression represents the total tickets sales?

Answer 1

Total tickets sales= 8(45) + 15x, or you could do T= 360 + 15x. Whichever one you think is best.

Explanation:

We know that each children's ticket costs $8, and there's 45 children tickets sold. So that would make 8(45), 8 x 45, which you could represent as $360 total of kids tickets.

For the adult tickets, we only know that each ticket costs $15 each. With the variable x representing the number of adult tickets, we can multiply that by 15 to make 15x. Since we don't know the amount of adult tickets sold.

With that, we can add both together to get the equation:

T= 8(45) + 15x

or

T= 360 + 15x
