Question

you go to the movies with 5 friends. you and one of your friends each buy a bag of popcorn. the rest of your friends buy just one ticket each. the expression 4x+2 (x+y) represent the situation. evaluate the expression when ticket cost $7.25 and a bag of popcorn costs $3.25.

Answer 1

The x represents the ticket prices and the y represents the popcorn price. If we distribute the expression, we get 4x +2x + 2y. This shows us that all 6 people bought a ticket, and two bought popcorn. Now plug in the given values and solve.

6*7.25 + 2*3.25 = $50
