Yon buys tickets to a concert for himself and a friend. There is a tax of 6% on the price of the tickets andan additional booking fee of $20 for the transaction. Enter an algebraic expression to represent the priceper person. Simplify the expression if possible. Use variablet for the price of the 2 tickets in dollars.The algebraic expression is

Respuesta :

Let the price of each ticket be represented by

[tex]=x[/tex]

The price of two tickets will be

[tex]t=2x[/tex]

The tax on the price of the tickets is 6% which be represented as

[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{6}{100}\times t \\ =\frac{6t}{100}=0.06t \end{gathered}[/tex]

The price of the two tickets after tax will be

[tex]\begin{gathered} the\text{price of the two tickets+the tax on the two tickets} \\ =t+0.06t \\ =1.06t \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore,

The price of the tickets after adding an additional booking fee of $20 will be given below as

[tex]=1.06t+20[/tex]

Since,

We were asked to get the algebraic expression person, we would therefore divide the above expression by 2

[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{1.06t+20}{2}=\frac{1.06t}{2}+\frac{20}{2} \\ =0.53t+10 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence,

The algebraic expression to represent the price per person using variable t is

=0.53t + 10
