To order tickets online to a hockey game,

there is a processing fee plus the
cost per ticket. The cost for 5 tickets is $174.45. The cost for 8 tickets is
$271.95. Write and solve a linear equation to find the total cost to order 12 tickets.

Answer 1

Answer: The total cost to order 12 tickets is $378.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent the cost for x number of tickets.

Since the cost for 5 tickets is $174.45, it can be represented by the point (5, 174.45).

The cost for 8 tickets is $271.95, it can be represented by the point (8, 271.95).

y = 32.5x - 11.95

The cost for 12 tickets is:

y=32.5(12) - 11.95 = 378.05

Hence the total cost to order 12 tickets is $378.05
