Question

represents the total cost for a group of children and adults to attend the amusement park. The variable c
represents the number of children attending. The variable a
represents the number of adults attending. What is the total cost for 12 children and 4 adults?(1 point)
The total cost is $

Answer 1

To find the total cost for 12 children and 4 adults using the expression \( 25c + 48a \), we can substitute \( c = 12 \) and \( a = 4 \) into the expression.

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 25(12) + 48(4) \]

Calculating each part:

1. For the children: \[ 25(12) = 300 \]

2. For the adults: \[ 48(4) = 192 \]

Now, add these two amounts together: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 300 + 192 = 492 \]

Thus, the total cost for 12 children and 4 adults is \($492\).
