Question

At the movies, children's tickets are $6 each and adults' tickets are $10 each. Shandra buys 14 tickets. Let ᴀ be the number of adults going to the movies. Enter an algebraic expression in the box to represent the total price Shandra pays. Do not include the dollar sign in your answer.​

Answer 1

y=6x+10a

Explanation:

let the number of children be x

and the number of adults be a

let the total price be y

given that children tickets are $6 each

also, an adult ticket is $10

x+a=14-------1

y=6x+10a----2

Therefore the expression for the total price can be expressed as

y=6x+10a
