A family of parents and a child go to the cinema. The cost of an adult ticket is 12 and a child ticket is 8. Then they buy 2 popcorns for $3 each. How many dollars do they pay in total?

Answer: They pay $38 in total.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1: Calculate the cost of adult tickets

The family consists of parents and a child, so there are two adults. Each adult ticket costs $12. We multiply the number of adults by the cost per adult ticket to find the total cost for adult tickets.

Step 2: Calculate the cost of the child ticket

There is one child, and a child ticket costs $8. We multiply the number of children by the cost per child ticket to get the total cost for the child ticket.

Step 3: Calculate the cost of popcorn

They buy 2 popcorns, and each popcorn costs $3. We multiply the number of popcorns by the cost per popcorn to find the total cost for popcorn.

Step 4: Calculate the total cost

To find the total amount paid, we sum the cost of the adult tickets, the child ticket, and the popcorns.
