To watch the high school play, theatre goers must buy a ticket at the door. The cost of an adult ticket is $10.00, and the cost of a student ticket is $7.50. If the number of adult tickets sold is represented by a, and the number of student tickets sold is represented by s, which expression represents the amount of money collected at the door from the ticket sales?

Question

A 7.50as
B 7.50(a + s)
C) (10.000)(7.50s)
D 10.000 +7.50s

Answer 1

The correct expression that represents the amount of money collected at the door from the ticket sales is option B) 7.50(a + s). This expression represents the cost of each adult ticket ($10.00) added to the cost of each student ticket ($7.50) multiplied by the sum of the number of adult tickets sold (a) and the number of student tickets sold (s).
