Sunset middle school is putting on a spring musical tickets are 6$ for adults and 2$ for students. On opening night they sold 90 tickets to adults and 50 tickets to students. Write an expression to represent the total amount of money collected in ticket sales on opening night.

Respuesta :

Each adult ticket is 6$, so if you sell [tex] a [/tex] adult tickets you gain [tex] 6a [/tex] dollars.

Similarly, each student ticket is 2$, so if you sell [tex] s [/tex] adult tickets you gain [tex] 2s [/tex] dollars.

So, the total is

[tex] T = 6a+2s [/tex]

Since, in your case, a=90 and s=50, the expression becomes

[tex] T = 6\times 90+2\times50 = 540 + 100 = 640[/tex]
