To calculate the total cost for a class of 25 students to see the Nutcracker, we can use the formula:
Total Cost = Flat Rate + (Cost per Ticket × Number of Students)
Given:
- Flat Rate = $50
- Cost per Ticket = $15
- Number of Students = 25
Now, we can compute the total cost:
-
First, calculate the total cost of tickets: \[ \text{Cost of Tickets} = 15 \text{ (cost per ticket)} \times 25 \text{ (number of students)} = 375 \]
-
Now, add the flat rate to the total ticket cost: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 50 \text{ (flat rate)} + 375 \text{ (cost of tickets)} = 425 \]
Therefore, the total cost for the school to take a class of 25 students to see the Nutcracker is $425.
