Question

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) Responses $50.00 $50.00 $375.00 $375.00 $425.00 $425.00 $1,265.00

Answer 1

To find out how much the school would need to pay for a class of 25 students to see The Nutcracker, we can set up an equation based on the given pricing structure.

Let \( x \) be the number of students (in this case, 25) and \( y \) be the total cost. According to the pricing structure:

1. There is a flat fee of $50.
2. Each ticket costs $15.

The equation representing the total cost \( y \) is:

\[ y = 50 + 15x \]

Substituting \( x = 25 \):

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

Therefore, the total cost for the school to take a class of 25 students to see The Nutcracker is $425.00.

The correct response is $425.00.
