Question

When buying tickets to a play​ online, they cost ​$12.75 per ticket plus a ​$12 fee per order. When buying tickets at the box​ office, they cost ​$15.75 per ticket. The total​ cost, c, of n people buying tickets for the play using either method to purchase tickets can be represented by an equation. Write the system of equations. Choose the correct answer below.

Answer 1

c = 12.75n + 12

c = 15.75n

Explanation:

Let

c = total​ cost of the ticket

n = number of people buying tickets

Buying tickets online

c = 12.75n + 12

Buying from the box office

c = 15.75n

This can be represented by the system of equation:

c = 12.75n + 12

c = 15.75n
