Answer: 102 dollars/4.5x+75

Step-by-step explanation: Your question isn't really straightforward, x x snacks for everybody to share? Please elaborate, and are they talking about the total cost, or just the cost of 6 snacks?

First, we have to take into account that if SADIE is taking her FOUR kids, there will be 5 people.

Cost of tickets is equal to $15 per one, and

5x (where x=15, per 5)

5(15)=75, and now onto the snacks

4.5x2=9, and 6/2=3, so 9x3=27, or 4.5x6=27

75+27=102

then for x snacks, if 1 snack costs 4.5 dollars than it'd be 4.5x (x number of snacks)+75 to find the total cost with tickets and all.
