$1,265.00

$50.00

$375.00

$425.00

Answer 1

To solve this problem using an equation with two variables, let's use the following variables:
x = number of tickets
y = cost of taking the class

According to the given information, the Boston Ballet charges a flat rate of $50.00, plus $15.00 per ticket. So we can set up the equation:

y = 50 + 15x

We know that the class has 25 students (x = 25), so we can substitute this value into the equation:

y = 50 + 15(25)
y = 50 + 375
y = 425

Therefore, the school would need $425.00 to take a class of 25 students to see The Nutcracker.

The correct answer is $425.00.
