You and your friends are going to the movies, and you plan to buy tickets for your friends because there is a discount
on tickets if you buy more than one. if your ticket costs $9.50 and each additional ticket costs $6.00, write an
equation to represent how much you will spend if n friends come to the movie with you.

y = 9.50 + 6.00n

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation shows that the base rice that you must pay is $9.50 (the cost of your ticket). $6.00n represents the cost of however many additional tickets you purchase for n friends. Say 3 friends decide to come, your n value is 3.

You would need to do the following to determine the price you need to pay for 3 friends:

6.00(3) = 18.00  (this is how much you'd pay for 3 friends)

You must add your ticket price to $18.00 to find y (the total amount you must pay for yourself and your 3 friends). So you must do the following:

y = 9.50 + 6.00(3)

y = 9.50 + 18.00

y = 27.50 (this is the total price you'll pay for everyone attending

Hope this helps :)
