Question

Lacey decides to take her five year old son to the history museum. The price for the child's ticket is 2.75 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?

a) 2.75x
b) x/2.75
c) x + 2.75

Answer 1

The right option is B (x/2.75).

Answer 2

Answer: C) $x+2.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The price for the child's ticket is 2.75 dollars less than the price for the adult's ticket.

i.e. the price of the adult ticket is sum of child's ticket price and 2.75 dollars.

If we represent the price for the child's ticket using the variable "x".

Then the algebraic expression for the adult's ticket price will be :-

$x+2.75$

Hence, the algebraic expression for the adult's ticket price is $x+2.75$
