Question

A group pre-orders 9 tickets for a sightseeing tour, even though they don't have the money to pay for them yet. Each ticket costs $32, so the debt for one ticket is -$32 . The tour company adds a $15 fee for the entire order. Including the fee, which number represents the total debt?

Answer 1

9x$32 + 15 is the total debt.
which would be $303.

Answer 2

303 is the number that represents the total debt.

Explanation:

A group of 9 pre-orders 9 tickets for a sightseeing tour.

Since each ticket costs $32 so total cost of the tickets will be = 9×$32 = $288

As this group don't have money so debt for the tickets will be = $288

In addition to this tour company adds a $15 fee for the entire order.

Finally the total debt for this tour will be = $15 + $288 = $303

Therefore, 303 is the number that represents the total debt.
