Question

Chuck and 7 friends went to a Rodeo in Calgary. The cost of admission was $6 per person. The friends also went

to a concert for an addition charge. In total the cost of the admission and concert was $264. Which algebraic
expression would best model solving for the cost of a concert ticket?

Answer 1

264=8x+48
the 48 is derived from 8x6, since eight people (the seven friends AND chuck) paid six dollars each for the rodeo
