Question

Amira is going to see a movie and is taking her 5 kids. Each movie ticket costs $13 and there are an assortment of snacks available to purchase for $3.50 each. How much total money would Amira have to pay for her family if she were to buy 6 snacks for everybody to share? How much would Amira have to pay if she bought xx snacks for everybody to share?

Answer 1

First: tickets = 6 × $13 = $78.
Snacks = 6 × $3.50 = $21.
Total = $78 + $21 = $99.

General: if she buys x snacks, total = $78 + $3.50x. (E.g. for 10 snacks: $78 + $35 = $113.)
