Question

Admission to Hersheypark Theme Park in Hershey, Pennsylvania, is $52.95 for an adult and$31.95 for children. The Diego family has a coupon for $10 off each admission ticket. Write an expression to find the cost for x adults and y children.

Answer 1

The expression to find the cost for x adults and y children after the coupon discount would be:

52.95x + 31.95y - 10x - 10y

Simplifying the expression, we get:

(52.95 - 10)x + (31.95 - 10)y

which can be further simplified to:

42.95x + 21.95y

Therefore, the cost for x adults and y children after the coupon discount would be 42.95x + 21.95y.
