Dexter is in charge of ticket sales at his town’s water park. He has to report to his boss how many tickets he sells and how much money the water park makes in ticket sales each day - adult tickets ($7), child tickets ($5). Today, Dexter has sold 100 adult and 125 child tickets. Yesterday, he sold 120 adult and 120 child tickets. Can Dexter write an expression to figure out today’s ticket sales, and use this to compare today’s sales to yesterday’s?

Dexter needs to write an expression to figure out the total money made from the 100 adult and 125 child tickets he sold today, compared to the 120 adult and 120 child tickets he sold yesterday. The adult tickets cost $7 and the child tickets cost $5

Sagot :

The expression to figure out today’s ticket sales is 7x+5y.

Today's ticket sale is less than that of yesterday's.

According to the question,

Adult tickets cost $7 each.

Child tickets cost $5 each.

Let the number of adult and child tickets sold be x and y respectively.

Expression for ticket sales= $(7x+5y)

Dexter has sold 125 kid's tickets and 100 adult tickets today.

Ticket sales = $(7*100+5*125) = $ 1325

He sold 120 adult tickets and 120 kid tickets yesterday.

Ticket sales = $(7*120+5*120) = $ 1440

Thus, from the expression it can be seen that yesterday' s ticket sale is greater than today's ticket sale.
