Let's define the variables:
N = Number of movie tickets bought
C = Total cost
The equation to represent the relationship between the number of movie tickets bought and the total cost would be:
C = 13.50N
Define each variable and write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of movie tickets bought and the total cost
N = Number of movie tickets bought
C = Total cost
The equation to represent the relationship between the number of movie tickets bought and the total cost would be:
C = 13.50N
- n: number of movie tickets bought
- c: total cost
Equation:
c = 13.50n
1. The number of movie tickets bought: Let's represent this as 'x'. It is the quantity of tickets purchased.
2. The total cost: Let's represent this as 'y'. It is the amount of money spent on the movie tickets.
Now, let's establish the relationship between these two variables.
We are told that the cost per movie ticket is $13.50. Therefore, for each movie ticket bought, the cost will be $13.50. So, if we buy 'x' movie tickets, the total cost 'y' can be calculated by multiplying the number of tickets by the cost per ticket.
The equation representing this relationship is:
y = 13.50x
Here, 'x' is the independent variable (the number of movie tickets) and 'y' is the dependent variable (the total cost).
