Question

the expression $25c + 48a$ represents the total cost for a group of children and adults to attend the amusement park. the variable $c$ represents the number of children attending. the variable $a$ represents the number of adults attending. what is the total cost for 12 children and 4 adults? (1 point) the total cost is $\square$.

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute values for variables

$c=12$, $a=4$, so total cost = $25(12) + 48(4)$

Step2: Calculate children's total cost

$25 \times 12 = 300$

Step3: Calculate adults' total cost

$48 \times 4 = 192$

Step4: Sum the two costs

$300 + 192 = 492$

Answer:

492
