Answer:

$301.91

Explanation:

$42.99 = 1 ticket for an adult

$25.99 = 1 ticket for a child

Jack needs: 4 adult tickets

5 children tickets

Since $42.99 = 1 ticket for an adult multiply $42.99 by 4 since Jack needs 4 adult tickets.

42.99*4 = $171.96 for 4 adult tickets.

For children, the tickets cost $25.99 for 1, so multiply by 5 to find out the cost for 5 children.

25.99*5 = $129.95 for 5 children tickets.

Add up the cost to find out how much Jack needs.

$171.96 for 4 adult tickets + $129.95 for 5 children tickets = $301.91
