Question

Museum entrance tickets cost $25. Then each special exhibit a person wishes to visit costs an additional $4. Write an expression that represents the cost to enter the museum and visit any number of special exhibits. Then find the cost for a person to enter and visit three exhibits.

Answer 1

T = 4x + 25;

T = $37

Step-by-step explanation

Let the number of special exhibits to be visited be x.

The cost of the musuem entrance ticket is $25 and each special exhibit costs an additional $4.

This means that the cost of cisiting x additional exhibits is:

4 * x = $4x

Therefore, the total cost to enter the musuem and visit any number of special exhibits is:

T = 4x + 25

That is the expression that represents the total cost.

If a person wants to visit three exhibits, it means that:

x = 3

Therefore, the total cost, T, is:

T = 4(3) + 25

T = 12 + 25

T = $37

That is the total cost to enter and visit three exhibits.
