Answer : 3.50t + 12

Step - by - step explanation :

the reason why I think the answer is " 3.50t + 12 " is because . . . since the admission to the state farm is only ONCE - there doesn't need to be a variable there to tell us that it MIGHT repeat more than once. and because we don't know how many ride ticket will be purchased - there is a variable there to tell us unknown.
