Question

Five friends went to an amusement park. The group paid for admission to the park and $15 for parking. The total cost of the trip can be represented by the expression $5x + $15. What was the cost of the trip for each person?

Answer 1

Answer : $40

Given the modeled equation

Total cost = 5x + 15

Let x be the number of friends

Since, we have five friends, then x = 5

Total cost = 5x + 15

Total cost = 5 x 5 + 15

Total cost = 25 + 15

Total cost = $40

The total cost of the trip is $40
