Question

To go to the theater you would pay $8.00 for each ticket you purchase. Which answer choice correctly represents the algebraic expression for the cost of t tickets?

A. 8t
B. 8 + t
C. 8 – t
D.

Answer 1

A = 8t because you are multiplying the number of tickets by the cost of each ticket

Answer 2

The correct algebraic expression is represented by option A.) “8t.”

We are given the information that each ticket costs $8.00. This means when purchasing more than one ticket, we multiply the quantity by $8.00. For instance, we can say Bob purchased 30 tickets. We would have to multiply 30 by $8.00 to find that Bob paid a total of $240.00.
