Question

It costs $25 per adult and $15 per student to go to the movies.

Select one:
O a. 25x + 15y
O b. 25x - 15y
O c. x-y
O d. x+y

Answer 1

Option A

Explanation:

Let's assume the number of adults is x and the number of students is y

If it costs $25 per adult to go to the movies, then the cost for adults would be 25x

If it costs $15 per student to go to the movies, then the cost for students would be 15y

The combined cost altogether would be 25x + 15y

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Answer 2

The correct answer is O a. 25x + 15y, where x represents the number of adults and y represents the number of students attending the movies.

Explanation:

To calculate the total cost, we need to multiply the number of adults by the cost per adult ($25), and multiply the number of students by the cost per student ($15), then add these two products together.

So the formula for the total cost would be:

Total cost = (number of adults * cost per adult) + (number of students * cost per student)

Total cost = (25x) + (15y)

Therefore, the correct expression for the total cost of attending the movies is 25x + 15y.
