To find out how much it will cost for a class of 25 students to see the Nutcracker, we can use this simple formula:
Total Cost = Flat Rate + (Cost per Ticket × Number of Students)
Here are the numbers we have:
- Flat Rate = $50 (this is a fee we pay no matter what)
- Cost per Ticket = $15 (this is how much each student needs to pay for a ticket)
- Number of Students = 25 (that’s how many students are going)
Let’s do the math step by step!
-
First, we need to find out how much the tickets will cost in total: \[ \text{Cost of Tickets} = 15 \text{ (cost per ticket)} \times 25 \text{ (number of students)} = 375 \] So, the total for the tickets is $375.
-
Now, we add the flat rate to the total ticket cost: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 50 \text{ (flat rate)} + 375 \text{ (cost of tickets)} = 425 \] When we add those together, we get $425.
So, the total cost for the school to take the class of 25 students to see the Nutcracker is $425! 🎉
