If Mr. Fox organizes a field trip to a museum. He orders 52 student tickets and 2 adult tickets. 52s + 2a is the product of the number of classes (c) and the total cost per class.

What is the product?

Cost of student tickets per class = (52s/c)

Cost of adult tickets per class= (2a/c)

Total cost per class = (52s/c) + (2a/c)

Factor out (1/c) from both terms:

Total cost per class = (52s + 2a)/c

So, 52s + 2a can be written as the product of the number of classes (c) and the total cost per class:

52s + 2a = c * (52s + 2a)

This expression shows the total cost of the tickets for all courses with the same number of adult and student tickets paid for by each class.

Answer:

52·s + 2·a = [2] × ([26·s] + [a])

Explanation:

The number of classes Mr. Fox takes to the museum = 2 classes

The number of tickets Mr. Fox orders = The number of students and teachers in the two classes

The number of students paid for by one of the classes = The number of students paid for by the other class

The number of adult paid for by one of the classes = The number of adult paid for by the other class

The expression for the total cost of the ticket is 52·s + 2·a

Let 'c' represent the total cost for each class

Therefore, given that each class pays for the same number of students and adults, we have;

2 × c = 52·s + 2·a

∴ c = (52·s + 2·a)/2 = 26·s + a

Therefore, given that we have 2 classes, we get;

52·s + 2·a = 2 × (26·s + a)
