A:
Hi there!
The total cost for a adults can be determined by multiplying the total amount of adults by the price per adult.
Price per adult = $3.50 Amount of adults = a Total cost = 3.5a
The total cost for c children can be determined by multiplying the total amount of children by the price per child.
Price per adult = $2 Amount of adults = c Total cost = 2c
The total cost for parents and children is 3.5a + 2c
The total cost for a family (2 adults and 3 children) can be found by plugging in 2 for 'a' and 3 for 'c'.
Therefore, we get the following: Total cost = 3.5 Γ 2 + 2 Γ 3 = 7 + 6 = 13 Hence, the answer is $13
