Question

a family of 2 adults and 3 children goes to a play. admission costs $8 per adult and $5 per child what expression would show the total admission cost for the family?

Answer 1

8 times 2 is 16 and 5 times 3 is 15 then add 16 plus 16=31

Answer 2

$8 ×2 + $ 5× 3= $31

Explanation:

Number of adults in a family= 2 adults

Number of children in a family= 3 children

Admission cost per Adult= $ 8

Total admission cost for adults= $8 ×2

Admission cost per Child= $5

Total admission cost for children= $ 5× 3

Hence, the expression to calculate the total cost for admission= $8 ×2 + $ 5× 3

Hence, the expression to calculate the total cost for admission=$16+$15

The total cost for admission=#31

Hence, the correct answer is $ 31
