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)

$50.00

$375.00

$1,265.00

$425.00

Answer 1

Let T = total cost and n = number of students.
T = 50 + 15n. For n = 25: T = 50 + 15(25) = 50 + 375 = $425.

Answer: $425.
