Question

A theater company charges $5.50 per ticket for people of all age groups. If c represents the total number of children who brought tickets and a represents the total number of adults who bought tickets, which expression best represents the total money earned by the company from the sale of tickets?

Answer 1

`5.50c+5.50a`

Explanation:

Cost of 1 ticket = $5.50

Total number of children who brought tickets = c

Total number of adults who bought tickets = a

Amount earned from selling tickets to children = 5.50 c

Amount earned from selling tickets to adults = 5.50 a

Therefore,

Total money earned by the company from the sale of tickets =
`5.50c+5.50a`
