The total cost \( c \) can be represented by the equation:
\[
c = 10t + 3p
\]
where:
- \( c \) is the total cost,
- \( t \) is the number of tickets bought,
- \( p \) is the number of popcorns bought.
In this equation, the total cost is calculated by multiplying the number of tickets by the ticket price ($10) and adding it to the product of the number of popcorns and the popcorn price ($3).
