Vincent Wells · Answer 1

B, $5.10x (it doesnt give you the ammount of games he played so x represents it) + $16.97 (the cost he payed to get in)

Kira Andrews · Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

5.10 is the cost for each game and you multiply x because it does not say how many games he played

5.10x

Then add the admission cost of 16.97

$5.10x+$16.97
