julio and ashley went to the drive in theater they paid an entry fee for the car and individual entry fee for themselves their total cost can be modeled by the expression 2.5x + 10 which of the following answer choices accurately interprets a part of the algebraic expression

Answer 1

The expression \(2.5x + 10\) can be broken down into two parts:

1. \(2.5x\): This part represents a variable cost, where \(x\) might represent the number of individual tickets. The coefficient \(2.5\) indicates that each individual ticket costs $2.5. Therefore, as the number of people increases, this total variable cost increases.

2. \(10\): This part represents a fixed cost, which is likely the entry fee for the car. This cost does not change regardless of how many tickets are purchased.

Based on this breakdown, here are possible interpretations of parts of the algebraic expression:

• The cost represented by \(2.5x\) is the total cost of individual tickets for \(x\) people at $2.5 per person.
• The cost represented by \(10\) is the fixed entry fee for the car.
