Question

Sully and genesis purchase two matinee movie tickets. A matinee ticket costs $6.50, a drink costs $5.50, and a bag of popcorn costs $6.00. define each variable and write an algebraic expression to describe how much they spend on the number of drinks and bags of popcorn they buy. identify the parts of the expression by underlining the coefficient(s) and circling the constant(s), and drawing abox around the variable(s)

Answer 1

Let the number of matinee tickets they bought be t, the number of drinks bought be d and the number of popcorn bags bought be p, then the amount the spend on the number of drinks and bags of popcorn they bought is given by
`5.5d+6p+2(6.5)=5.5d+6p+13`.

The coefficients in the expression are 5.5 and 6 while the constant is 13 and the variables are d and p.
