EXAMPLE 2 Evaluate an expression Movies The total cost of seeing a movie at a theater can be represented by the expression a + r where a is the cost (in dollars) of admission and r is the cost (in dollars) of refreshments. Suppose you pay $7.50 for admission and $7.25 for refreshments. Find the total cost. Add. Substitute 7.50 for a and
7.25 for r. = 14.75 = 7.50 + 7.25 Write expression. Total cost = a + r
