At a charity fund-raiser, adult tickets were sold for $8 each and children's tickets were sold for $3 each. Write an algebraic
expression for the total amount of money raised from the sale of tickets. How much money was raised if the fundraiser sold
240 adult tickets and 378 children's tickets?

Respuesta :

Based on the cost of the adult tickets and the children's ticket, the expression that can find the amount raised is 8x + 3y.

Also if those number of tickets were sold, the amount realized would be $3,054.

The total amount raised can be found as:

= (Number of adult tickets x price of adult tickets) + (Number of children's tickets x price of children's tickets)

Assuming the adult tickets are x and the children's tickets are y, the equation would be:

= (x × 8) + (y × 3)

= 8x + 3y

If 240 adult tickets and 378 children's tickets are sold, the amount realized would be:

= 8x + 3y

= (8 x 240) + (3 x 378)

= $3,054

In conclusion, the relevant expression is 8x + 3y and the amount raised would be $3,054.
