Question

Angelica is buying 5 tickets to the school musical. Tickets cost $7 each.

If c represents Angelica's total cost for tickets, which equation below is correct?

c = 5
c = 5 + $7
c = (5)($7)
c = $7

Answer 1

I did this in a test so the answer is the third one. i already knew the answer was the third one.

Explanation:

Lets check all of em first.

c = 5

(c) cant equal five because (c) is the total cost for tickets and if she bought 5

and each of them is $7 it cant be 5 thes goes same for the other- c = $7

Now for c = 5 + $7 Clearly you cant find out the total cost for 5 tickets using addition.

therefore, the right answer is c = (5) ($7)

Answer 2

Hi!

Your answer should be: 3/c, "c= (5)($7)"

Reason being:

A: it only has the number of tickets, so that wouldn't make sense.

B: It has both numbers, but, were not adding, because the tickets cost $7 EACH, so only adding them wouldn't give you the right answer.

C: They are multiplying 5x$7, which is correct because each ticket is $7, and she is trying to buy 5, so 5x$7=c is correct.

D: like A, they only have one part of the problem, so it wouldn't make sense.

Hope this helps!
