(1) The school is planning a field trip to the science center. Tickets are originally \( \$ 28 \), but school groups receive an \( \$ 8 \) discount on each ticket that is purchased. The expression \( t(28-8) \) represents the total cost for \( t \) tickets.
(1) What does the quantity \( 28-8 \) represent?
Order of Operations
the discounted price of each ticket
1 Evaluate inside parentheses.
(1) Mrs. Price purchases 24 tickets for the students in her class. Evaluate the expression for \( t=24 \).
\[
\begin{aligned}
t(28-8) & =24(28-8) \\
& =24(\square)
\end{aligned}
\]
24(20) = 480
Step 1 :t(28-8) = t(20)
Step 2 :24(20) = 480
