Question

today there is a discount of $10 off a purchase of 5 or more movie tickets. which expression can you use to find the total price of 5 movie tickets after the discount? 5p − 10

what do the parts of the expression 5p represent?
the variable p represents the ticket price
the number 5 represents the number of tickets

what does the term 5p mean in the expression 5p − 10?
the coefficient 5 represents the price of 1 ticket, number of tickets which is multiplied by p.

Explanation:

Answer:

(1) The parts of \( 5p \) represent: \( 5 \) (number of tickets) multiplied by \( p \) (ticket price), so \( 5p \) is the total price of 5 tickets before discount.
(2) Variable \( p \): ticket price; Number \( 5 \): number of tickets.
(3) Expression for total price after discount: \( 5p - 10 \).
(4) In \( 5p \), \( 5 \) is the coefficient (number of tickets), \( p \) is ticket price, so \( 5p \) means total price of 5 tickets at price \( p \) each. The coefficient \( 5 \) represents the number of tickets, which is multiplied by \( p \) (price of 1 ticket).
