Writing algebraic expressions

Question

It cost $750 to rent a bus. Each ticket cost $10. Write and algebraic expression that represents the cost of the trip for n people. Then evaluate this expression for 36 people

Answer 1

$750 is required regardless of how many people sign up. $10 times n people is the amount collected from tickets.

 

Therefore, your expression is 750 + 10n.

 

If 36 people ride the bus, 10 * 36 = 360. 750 + 360 = 1110.

 

Your answer is $1110.

 

Hope that helps!
