Question

Sarah decides to take her six year old son to the circus. the price for the child's ticket is 4.75 dollars less than the price for the adult's ticket. if you represent the price for the child's ticket using the variable "x," how would you write the algebraic expression for the adult's ticket price?

Answer 1

adult ticket = y
child ticket = x

y = 4.75 + x

Answer 2

Answer: So, our algebraic expression for the adult's ticket price would become
`(x+4.75)\ dollars`

Explanation:

Let the price for child's ticket be 'x'.

According to question, we have given that the price for the child's ticket is 4.75 dollars less than the price for the adult's ticket.

So, the adult's ticket price would be 4.75 dollars more than the price for child's ticket.

So, our algebraic expression for the adult's ticket price would become

`(x+4.75)\ dollars`
