Question

Kamala was ordering tickets from a local theater for two different events. The first event cost $24.95 per ticket plus a $5 processing fee. The second event cost $35.75 per ticket plus a $9.95 processing fee. If Kamala purchased the same number of tickets to each event, what is the simplified expression for the total cost for both events?

Answer 1

T=60.7x+5+14.95

Explanation:

let the number of tickets be x

and the number is the same for both tickets

for the first event

the cost is =24.95x+ 5

for the second event

the cost is =35.75x+ 9.95

for both events the total cost is

T=24.95x+ 5+35.75x+ 9.95

T=24.95x+35.75x+5+ 9.95

The simplified expression for the total cost for both events T=60.7x+5+14.95
