Question

Derek buys tickets so that he and his 7 friends can go to a Romeo concert. He had to pay a one-time $2 service charge plus the cost for each ticket. Which expression represents how much Derek will have to pay, t , for all 8 people to get into the concert, if the tickets are n dollars each.

Answer 1

Answer:

t=2+8n

Step-by-step explanation:

t is the total amount needed to be paid, so this needs to be the subject. he had to pay a $2 service charge, this price is independent and is an addition to the rest so it will be added to the remaining equation. Derek and his 7 friend's tickets are a total of 8 tickets. since each ticket costs n , it needs to be multiplied by the total number if people.
