of that pizza?

2. MOVIES Mr. Sedgwick paid $13 for one adult ticket and one child ticket
for a movie. Mrs. Wong paid $18 for one adult ticket and two child tickets
to see the same movie, and Mr. Gomez paid $23 for one adult ticket and
three child tickets. If the pattern continues, how much should Mrs.
Beauregard expect to pay for one adult ticket and four child tickets?

3. SPORTS The track coach must buy at least two bottles of water for each
participant in a track meet. One team has 35 members, and the other
team has 28 members. If each case of water contains 24 bottles, what is
the fewest number of full cases that the coach can buy?
