Question

Can someone please help me with this question? This is the only one i am stuck on, on my quiz! I'd very much appreciate it.

Jackson is buying Red Wings tickets online. Each ticket costs $45, and Ticket Master also charges a $13 convenience fee. Jackson buys x tickets. Write an expression to model this situation.


A. 13x + 45

B. 58x

C. 45x + 13

D. x(45 + 13)

Answer 1

D best represents the situation you describe. The two different charges per ticket, $45 and $13, are mentioned / shown inside parentheses: ($45 + $13), and this sum is then multiplied by the number of tickets sold.
