Janelle (age 12) and her cousin, Marquita (age 14), go to 7 : 00 pm show. Write an expression for the total cost of admission. What is the total cost?

The rates of admission to a movie show is $ 8 for an adult, children under the age 13 is $ 5 and the matinee (before 6 pm) is $ 3. In our case Janelle is a child since she is below the age of 13 and therefore will pay $ 5, while Marquita is an adult thus will pay $ 8. Therefore, $ 8 + $ 5 = $ 13

Therefore the total cost for the show will be $ 13
