answer attempt 1 out of 2

total cost with 6 snacks:

total cost with $x$ snacks:

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate number of tickets

Amira + 5 kids = 6 people.
Number of tickets = $6$
Cost of tickets: $6 \times 13 = 78$

Step2: Calculate cost of 6 snacks

Cost per snack = $\$3.50$
Cost of 6 snacks: $6 \times 3.50 = 21$

Step3: Total cost for 6 snacks

Add ticket and snack costs: $78 + 21 = 99$

Step4: Cost for $x$ snacks

Cost of $x$ snacks: $3.50x$
Total cost: $78 + 3.50x$

Answer:

Total cost with 6 snacks: $\$99$
Total cost with $x$ snacks: $\$78 + 3.50x$
