Explanation:

Step1: Calculate number of tickets

Ellie + 4 kids = 5 people. Tickets cost $14 each. So ticket cost: $14×5 = $70.

Step2: Calculate cost for 7 snacks

Snacks cost $4.50 each. For 7 snacks: $4.50×7 = $31.50.

Step3: Total cost for 7 snacks

Add ticket and snack costs: $70 + $31.50 = $101.50.

Snack cost: $4.50x. Total cost: $70 + $4.50x.
