For a large group of students, the Boston Ballet charges a flat rate of $50, plus $15 per ticket, How much would a school need to take a class of 25 students to see the Nutcracker?

To calculate the total cost for a class of 25 students to see the Nutcracker, we can use the formula:

Total Cost = Flat Rate + (Cost per Ticket × Number of Students)

Given:

• Flat Rate = $50
• Cost per Ticket = $15
• Number of Students = 25

Now, we can compute the total cost:

1. First, calculate the total cost of tickets: [ \text{Cost of Tickets} = 15 \text{ (cost per ticket)} \times 25 \text{ (number of students)} = 375 ]

2. Now, add the flat rate to the total ticket cost: [ \text{Total Cost} = 50 \text{ (flat rate)} + 375 \text{ (cost of tickets)} = 425 ]

Therefore, the total cost for the school to take a class of 25 students to see the Nutcracker is $425.
