2. Tickets to a play cost $8 each. Write an

expression that gives the ticket cost in dollars
for a group of g girls and b boys.

Answer 1

Expression that gives the ticket cost in dollars for a group of g girls and b boys is (8g + 8b) dollars

Solution:

Given that tickets to play cost $ 8 each

To find: Expression that gives the ticket cost in dollars for a group of g girls and b boys

From given,

cost of 1 ticket = $ 8

Number of girls = g

Number of boys = b

Thus the expression can be framed for total cost as:

Total cost = (number of girls + number of boys)(cost of 1 ticket)

`Total\ Cost = (g + b) * 8\\\\Total\ Cost = 8g + 8b`

Thus the expression that gives total cost is (8g + 8b) dollars
