Question

Mrs. aviles is planning a fruit-cup party for a class of 18 students and two teachers. She spends $10 for a package of snacks and also takes orders in advance for fruit cups that cost $3 each.

1. describe the domain of the function both in words and numbers?
2. what is the range?

Answer 1

domain is x = 3

Thus domain means that for every fruit cup costs $3

Range is f(20) = 60

Explanation:

We are given;

Total students for the fruit cup party = 18

Total teachers for the fruit cup party = 2

Cost of each fruit cup =$ 3

Delivery charge = $ 10

Now, the total number of people attending the party = Total number of students + Total number of teachers

Thus;

Total number of people attending party = 18 + 2 = 20

Since cost of each fruit cup is $3.

Thus, for 20 fruit cups, the function is;

f(x) = 20x where x is cost of each fruit cup.

It means the cost of 20 fruit cups = $3 × 20 = $60

Thus, domain is x = 3

Thus domain means that for every fruit cup costs $3

Range is f(20) = 60
