A family is going to the amusement park. The adult tickets cost $22 for admission, and the tickets for children cost $7. The family consists of 2 adults and 2 children. What is the total price the family will pay for admission?
To solve this problem you can set up an equation to represent the total price the family will pay, with a representing the number of adult tickets, c representing the number of children’s tickets, and p representing the total price of admission.
Thus 22a + 7c = p
Plug in the number of adults and children that plan to go to the amusement park: 22(2) + 7(2) = $<<22*2+7*2=58>>58 is the total cost for admission
