Mr. Jenkins is going to buy museum tickets for a class trip. The museum director quotes him the following prices:

Question

• 20 tickets cost a total of $250.
• 30 tickets cost a total of $375.
• 50 tickets cost a total of $625.

a. Based on these prices, is the cost of each ticket the same? Explain how you know.
So I divided each number and got 12.5
b. Make a table of values to find the total cost of 32, 36, and 40 tickets.
I tried and didn't get this. Can you show the steps to doing this?
c. Write an equation to find the total cost, represented by y, of x museum tickets.
I didn't get this either.
d. Mr. Jenkins spends $800 on museum tickets for the class trip. Use the equation you wrote to find how many tickets Mr. Jenkins buys. Show your work or explain how you know.
I did 800/12.5=64

Can you check my answer and help me with the ones I didn't get?
