Applying Distributive Property in Real-Life Scenarios

A school is organizing a trip for p classes. Each class has q students, and each student needs r dollars for the trip. How much money does the school need in total? Use the equation p(qx+r) to express this situation.

• p * (q + r)

• p + q + r

• p * q * r

• (p + q) * r

A concert hall has p rows of seats. Each row has q seats, and each ticket costs r dollars. How much revenue does the concert generate if all seats are sold? Use p(qx+r) to represent this scenario and interpret the variables.

• Total revenue = p * (q + r)

• Total revenue = p * q + r

• Total revenue = p * q * r

• Total revenue = p + q + r
