9. For a large group of students, the Boston Ballet charges a flat rate of $50, plus $15 per ticket, How much would a school need to take a class of 25 students to see the Nutcracker?

Answer 1

To calculate the total cost for a school to take a class of 25 students to see the Nutcracker, you can use the following formula:

Total Cost = Flat Rate + (Cost per Ticket x Number of Tickets)

Given:

• Flat Rate = $50
• Cost per Ticket = $15
• Number of Students (Tickets) = 25

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

Total Cost = $50 + ($15 x 25)

First, calculate the cost of the tickets:

$15 x 25 = $375

Now, add the flat rate:

Total Cost = $50 + $375 = $425

Therefore, the total cost for the school to take a class of 25 students to see the Nutcracker would be $425.
