Question

A group of friends decides to visit a haunted house and the entrance fee for each person is $10. They each pay an additional $3 for the extra scream option. If they paid $5 for parking and a total of $96 dollars overall, which of the following equations describes this scenrio. Let x represent the number of friends in the group.

Answer 1

We start by writing each statement numerically

each person is 10$

`10x`

They each oay 3$ for extra scream option

`3x`

and pay 5$ for parking

`5`

if I add everything I will get the total cost and the problem tells me that the total cost is 96$

So:

`10x+3x+5=96`
