Question

Brian is ordering tickets online for a concert. the price of each ticket for the concert is t dollars. for online orders there is an additional charge of $11 per ticket and a service charge of $14 for the entire order. the cost for 7 tickets can be represented by the expression 7(t + 11) + 14.

write two expressions equivalent to the cost expression. then, find the total cost of brian’s online order if the price of each ticket for this concert is $33

Answer 1

7 tickets: 7(t + 11) + 14

Distribute the 7 inside the parentheses.

(7t + 77) + 14

Add 77 and 14.

7t + 91

(7t + 77) + 14 and 7t + 91 are two expressions equivalent to the cost expression.

Now plug in 33 for t in the original cost expression.

7(t + 11) + 14

7(33 + 11) + 14

Distribute 7 inside the parentheses.

(231 + 77) + 14 = 322

The total cost of Brain's online order is $322.
