Answer 1

(a) $2,375.

(b) $2,875.

Explanation:

We have been general admission to The American Museum of Natural History is $19.

(a). To find the total cost of tickets for a group of 125 students, we will multiply 125 by $19.

`\text{The total cost of tickets}=\$19* 125`

`\text{The total cost of tickets}=\$2,375`

Therefore, the total cost of 125 tickets would be $2,375.

(b). We have been given that the group also purchases IMAX movie tickets for an additional $4 per student.

The total cost of one ticket would be the cost of museum ticket plus movie ticket that is
`\$19+\$4=\$23`.

The new total cost of 125 tickets would be 125 times $23.

`\text{The new total cost of tickets}=\$23* 125`

`\text{The new total cost of tickets}=\$2,875`

Therefore, the new total cost of 125 tickets would be $2,875.
