Write and simplify an expression in terms of t for the total amount of money you raise for selling all 50 tick

You are a member of the fund-raising committee for your school. The committee is sponsoring a fair. Each member of the committee has agreed to sell 50 tickets to the fair. Student tickets are $3 and adult tickets are $5 each. Let t represent the number of student tickets that you sell. Write and simplify an expression in terms of t for the total amount of money you raise for selling all 50 tickets. Then use the expression to determine how much money you raise if you sell all 50 tickets and 28 of those are student tickets.

t = number of student tickets.

3t + 5(50-t) = total money raised

that is saying, that 3 dollars, times number of student tickets sold, plus 5 dollars times the number of adult tickets sold.

now for the second part:

you simply input 28 for “t”

3*28 + [5 * (50-28)]

84 + 5*22

84 + 110 = $194
