Given:
She purchased adult ticket for herself and children tickets for her 2 boys.
Cost of one adult ticket = $39.99
Cost of one child ticket = $19.99
To find:
The expression to represent the total cost of the tickets Jenny purchased.
Solution:
Let x represent the number of adult ticket purchase
and y represent the number of child tickets purchase.
Cost of one adult ticket = $39.99
Cost of one child ticket = $19.99
Total cost = 39.99x + 19.99y
Therefore, the expression for total cost is 39.99x + 19.99y.
She purchased one adult ticket and 2 child tickets.
Substitute x=1 and y=2 in the above expression.
Total cost = 39.99(1) + 19.99(2)
= 39.99 + 39.98
= 79.97
Therefore, the required expression to represent the total cost of the tickets Jenny purchased is 39.99(1) + 19.99(2) and total cost is $79.97.
