Question

The Molina Family went to a concert together. They Purchased 4 concert tickets for $25 each, 3 T-Shirts for $15 each,and a poster for $10. write an expression for the total cost. Then Determine the total cost

Answer 1

4(25)+3(15)+10

4 x 25 = 100
3 x 15 = 45
100+45+10= $155

Answer 2

4 x 25 would be 4 concert tickets, each costing $25
3 x 15 would be 3 T-shirts, each costing $15
10 would be a poster costing $10. 10 is same as 1 x 10

If we put them into a one equation:
4 x 25 + 3 x 15 + 10

Don't forget the order of operation!

4 x 25 + 3 x 15 + 10
= 100 + 45 + 10
= 155

I am not sure which level of math you are on, so if you don't understand the following, ignore it:
Let
`c` be the total cost at the concert.
The equation would be:

`c =` 4 x 25 + 3 x 15 + 10

Solve it the same way.
