For a large group of students, the Boston Ballet charges a flat rate of $50.00, plus $15.00 per ticket. How much would a school need to take a class of 25 students to see The Nutcracker? Use an equation with two variables to solve this problem.(1 point)

$375.00
$375.00

$50.00
$50.00

$1,265.00
$1,265.00

$425.00

Answer 1

To solve the problem, let's define the variables:

• Let \( x \) represent the number of tickets (students).
• \( y \) will represent the total cost.

The total cost equation can be set up as follows:

\[ y = 50 + 15x \]

For a class of 25 students, we will substitute \( x = 25 \) into the equation:

\[ y = 50 + 15(25) \] \[ y = 50 + 375 \] \[ y = 425 \]

Thus, the total cost for a class of 25 students to see The Nutcracker would be $425.00.

The correct answer is:

$425.00.
