Art and his friends spent $62 at the movies. Admission tickets cost $12 apiece, and a bucket of popcorn costs $7. Which equation written in standard form represents the number of tickets bought, t, and the number of buckets of popcorn bought, p?

12p + 7t = 62

7p + 12t = 62

12p = 62 - 7t

7p = 62 - 12t

We have been asked to write the standard form to show how much was spent at the movies after the Art and his friends spent on tickets and buckets of popcorn

number of buckets of popcorn - p

the cost of bucket of popcorn - 7

if 1 bucket costs - $7

then p number of buckets cost - 7 x p = 7p

number of tickets bought - t

cost of a ticket - $12

if 1 ticket costs $12

then t tickets cost - 12t

the total amount spent is $62

7p spent for popcorn and 12t spent for tickets

therefore standard form is

7p + 12t = 62

correct answer is 2nd option

If

t is the number of tickets bought

p is the number of buckets of popcorn bought

a ticket costs $12 apiece

a bucket of popcorn costs $7

and they all spend $62 dollar total

Then we have the equation:

12t + 7p = 62
