Julio and Ashley went to the drive-in theater. They paid an entry fee for the car and additional fee for them self. The total cost can be by the expression 2.5x+10 which of the following and twitches accurately interprets a part of the algebraic expressions

Answer 1

In the expression \( 2.5x + 10 \), we can break it down for interpretation:

1. \( 2.5x \): This part of the expression likely represents the cost associated with the number of people in the car (let's denote that number as \( x \)). The \( 2.5 \) could represent the cost per person, so if there are \( x \) people, their total contribution to the cost would be \( 2.5x \).

2. \( 10 \): This part of the expression likely represents a fixed fee, which could be the entry fee for the car itself, regardless of how many people are inside.

So, to summarize the interpretation:

• The term \( 2.5x \) indicates the total cost associated with the number of individuals in the vehicle, with each individual costing $2.50.
• The constant \( 10 \) represents a flat fee that must be paid to enter the drive-in theater.

Therefore, the overall expression \( 2.5x + 10 \) gives the total cost of attending the drive-in based on the number of people and the entry fee for the car.
