    T + 2p = cost of 1 family member

    since there are 5 family members who bought one ticket and 2 popcorn, we simply multiply the cost of 1 family member by 5.

    5 (t + 2p) = total cost of the whole family.

    We can distribute 5 and the above equation will become.

    5t + 2 (5) p ⇒ 5t + 10p = total cost of the whole family.
