Jan takes her 3 children and 2 neighbors children to a matinee. All of the children are under age 13. Write an expression for the total cost of admission? How much in all did Jane pay for admission?

Answer 1

Let's assume the cost of admission for each child is $x.

The expression for the total cost of admission would be: 3x + 2x

We can simplify this expression to get the total cost of admission: 5x

So, Jane paid a total of 5x for admission.
