Answer:

$50 is not a reasonable estimate for the total cost for the group.The total expense incurred will be actually $61.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of movie ticket = $6.50

Cost of a bag of popcorn = $5.75

Total cost = [tex]\[$6.50 + $5.75\][/tex] = $12.25

Total number of people = 5

Total cost for 5 persons = [tex]\[5 * ($6.50 + $5.75)\][/tex]

= [tex]5*12.25[/tex]

= [tex]$61.25[/tex]

So the total cost for the group is well above $50, that is [$61.25 > $50]

The total expense incurred will be actually $61.25
