Consider a family of 4 that goes to a soccer game. Tickets are $5.00 each. The mom also buys a soft drink for $2.00. How would you write this expression? How much will this outing cost?
Consider a different scenario: The same family goes to the game as before, but each of the family members wants a drink. How would you write this expression? Why would you add the 5 and 2 first? How much will this outing cost? How many groups are there? What does each group comprise?
