A local movie theater charges $3.00 per person for admission plus an additional $1.50 per person for snacks. Write an equation to represent this scenario. Then find the cost of taking 5 people to the movies.

1. $3.00 + $1.50   |     2. $19.50

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $3.00 dollars PLUS an additional $1.50  per person for snacks.

This shows that you should add the two together which would give you $4.50.

2. Since it is 4.50 for one person and you are taking 5 people to the movie theater the equation would be $4.50 x 5 which equals 19.50
