A group of four friends attend a movie. The expression below represents the total amount of dollars spent by the group after purchasing four tickets, P small bags of

popcorn, and D drinks,

32 + 5P + 3D

Question Requirement:

Simplify expression that represents the total cost of tickets and snacks or beverages

The total cost of tickets, snacks and beverages =

$54

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing here is to ascertain the prices of each item (ticket, a bag of popcorn, and drinks).  We assume that the price of the ticket is $8 (32/4) since there are four tickets for four friends, and  $8 x 4 = $32.  Now, we also assume that a small bag of popcorn costs $2 while drinks cost $4 each.

From the equation, we can ascertain that 5 bags of popcorn were bought while 3 bottles of drinks were purchased.

Since the total cost spent is represented by the expression,

32 + 5P + 3D

Therefore, the total cost spent by the four friends

= 32 + (5 * 2) + (3 * 4)

simplifying the above expression

= 32 + 10 + 12

= $54
