Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the total cost of movie tickets

To calculate the total cost of movie tickets for the person and their 3 kids, we use the formula: \[\text{Total Cost of Tickets} = (n + 1) \times t = (3 + 1) \times 15 = 60\]

Step 2: Calculate the total cost of snacks

For 6 snacks at the cost of 4.5 dollars each, the total cost of snacks is calculated as: \[\text{Total Cost of Snacks} = x \times s = 6 \times 4.5 = 27\]

Step 3: Calculate the overall total cost

The overall total cost is the sum of the total cost of movie tickets and the total cost of snacks. \[\text{Overall Total Cost} = \text{Total Cost of Tickets} + \text{Total Cost of Snacks} = 60 + 27 = 87\]
