The total cost of a ticket would be t + (0.15t) = 1.15t.
Using your expression above with t= 12.50 cost of a ticket. What is the total amount? Show your work
Using the expression 1.15t, we can substitute t with 12.50 to find the total amount:
Total amount = 1.15 * 12.50 = 14.375
Total amount = 1.15 * 12.50 = 14.375
