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.
