Connor is going to see a movie and is taking his 4 kids. Each movie ticket costs $13 and there are an assortment of snacks available to purchase for $5 each. How much total money would Connor have to pay for his family if he were to buy 5 snacks for everybody to share? How much would Connor have to pay if he bought xx snacks for everybody to share?

If Connor buys 3 snacks at 3 dollars each for himself and his 3 children, the net cost (including movie tickets) would be 88 dollars.

If he buys x amount of snacks, his cost will be determined by C=52+3x or C=52+3*x (both are equivalent, but not everyone knows every way to represent multiplication)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cost of the snacks:

Cost = Price*NumberOfSnacks, or C=p*n, or C=pn

To find the unit cost of the snack, find the price, the p value, which is 3 dollars.

Then, find the total number of snacks that will be bought. Since each person receives an equal number of snacks, 3 per person, and there are 4 people (himself and his 3 children), we can multiply 3*4 to find the n value, which is now known to be 12.

C=3*12=36. Add to the 13 dollar per person charge for tickets (52 dollars for 4 people), and you get 88 dollars.

To find the cost if he buys x amount of snacks for himself and his 3 children (assumed to be "everyone"), all costs but the n value are to be the same, creating this equation:

C=52+3x

In this context, 52 is the cost of movie tickets, 3 is the cost of the snacks, and x is the total number of snacks bought. C represents total cost.
