Question

The expression 10a+24c represents the total cost for a group of children and adults to attend the Six Flags. The variable c represents the number of children attending. The variable a represents the number of adults attending. What is the total cost for 10 children and 3 adults?

Answer 1

To find the total cost for 10 children and 3 adults, we can substitute c = 10 and a = 3 into the expression 10a + 24c:

10a + 24c = 10(3) + 24(10) = 30 + 240 = 270

Therefore, the total cost for 10 children and 3 adults is $270.
