Question

Write a function to represent the situation
York sister is using your credit card to buy tickets for a partynextdoor concert. There is a $5.00 transaction fee with each order , and ticktes cost $55.00.

Answer 1

You can represent the situation with a function in Python that calculates the total cost of purchasing tickets for a concert, including the transaction fee. Below is a function that takes the number of tickets as input and returns the total cost.

```python
def total_cost(num_tickets):
ticket_price = 55.00 # price per ticket
transaction_fee = 5.00 # transaction fee per order

# Calculate the total cost
total = (ticket_price * num_tickets) + transaction_fee
return total

# Example usage:
number_of_tickets = 3 # For example, your sister wants to buy 3 tickets
cost = total_cost(number_of_tickets)
print(f"The total cost for {number_of_tickets} tickets is: ${cost:.2f}")
```

This function calculates the total cost based on the formula:

\[
\text{Total Cost} = (\text{Number of Tickets} \times \text{Ticket Price}) + \text{Transaction Fee}
\]

You can change the `number_of_tickets` variable in the example usage to calculate the total cost for different quantities of tickets.
