Answer 2

A)
`3+0.25x`

B)
`0.25x+3`

Explanation:

Admission charges = $3

Cost of activity ticket purchased = $0.25 per ticket

Given that
`x` represents the number of activity tickets purchased.

Using unitary method.

If 1 ticket costs = $0.25

∴
`x` tickets purchased will cost in dollars =
`0.25* x=0.25x`

∴ Total cost of attending the event =
`Admission\ charge\ + Cost\ of\ activity\ tickets\ purchased` =
`3+0.25x`

By commutative property the expression can also be written as

`0.25x+3` [As
`a+b=b+a` ]
