Herman and his family went to the movies. A sign at the ticket booth showed how much each type of ticket cost.

Herman's grandma and grandpa needed senior tickets. His mom and dad needed adult tickets. Herman and his 3 siblings needed child tickets. How much did it cost the family to go to the movies?

1 answer

To calculate the total cost for Herman's family to go to the movies, we need to know the prices of the different types of tickets: senior tickets, adult tickets, and child tickets.

Assuming the prices are as follows (replace these with the actual prices if they are provided):

  • Senior Ticket: $X
  • Adult Ticket: $Y
  • Child Ticket: $Z

Now, let's summarize the number of tickets needed:

  • 2 Senior Tickets (for grandma and grandpa)
  • 2 Adult Tickets (for mom and dad)
  • 4 Child Tickets (for Herman and his 3 siblings)

Now, we can calculate the total cost:

  • Cost for Senior Tickets: \( 2 \times X = 2X \)
  • Cost for Adult Tickets: \( 2 \times Y = 2Y \)
  • Cost for Child Tickets: \( 4 \times Z = 4Z \)

Now, add up the costs:

Total Cost = \( 2X + 2Y + 4Z \)

To give a total amount, I would need the specific prices of each ticket type. Once you provide those, we can plug them into the formula to get the total cost.
