Question

Yon buys tickets to a concert for himself and a friend. There is a tax of 8% on the price of the tickets and an additional booking fee of $20 for the transaction. Enter an algebraic expression to represent the price per person. Simplify the expression if possible. Use variable t for the price of the 2 tickets in dollars.

Answer 1

The answer is 1.06x+10

Explanation:

Well, I assume that both tickets cost the same: let's call it x.

So the tickets cost 106%x (the cost of the ticket plus tax).

The total prize of the tickets will be: 2*106% x+20.

But let's assume that you share it half-half then the answer would be 1.06x+10
