Question

An adult’s ticket costs $1.75 more than a child’s ticket. Ride in expression for the total cost of three adults tickets and five children’s tickets

Answer 1

Let the child's ticket be x.
Child's ticket = x
Adult's ticket = x + 1.75

Total cost = 3(x + 1.75) + 5x
Total cost = 3x + 5.25 + 5x
Total cost = 8x + 5.25

-----------------------------------
Answer: 8x + 5.25
