Define a variable ** 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.
Write an equation ** Thus 22a + 7c = p
How much will the family pay for admission? ** 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
