Question

carter is going to see a movie and is taking his 2 kids. Each movie ticket costs $12 and there are an assortment of snacks available for $4 each. How much total money would Carter have to pay for his family if he were to buy 2 snacks for everybody to share? how much would carter have to pay if he bought x snacks for everybody to share?

Answer 1

Carter will pay a total of $44 for 3 movie tickets and 2 snacks. For x snacks, the total cost will be $36 + $4x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem involves calculating the total cost for a family to see a movie with snacks.

Given that each movie ticket costs $12 and each snack costs $4, we should first calculate the cost of movie tickets and then add the cost of snacks.

There is one adult (Carter) and 2 kids in the family, making it 3 movie tickets in total.

The total cost for movie tickets is 3 tickets × $12 per ticket = $36.

If he buys 2 snacks for everybody to share, the cost for snacks is 2 snacks × $4 per snack = $8.

Thus, the total cost for the movie and 2 snacks would be $36 + $8 = $44.

If he buys x snacks for everybody to share, the cost for snacks will be x snacks × $4 per snack = $4x.

The total cost would then be the cost of tickets plus the cost of snacks: $36 + $4x.
