Question

Martin was going to the market to buy apples. The price for apples is $3.50 times the number of apples bought plus one-dollar tax. Write a polynomial function A that represents the price of apples in terms of n. If Martin bought 3^3 amount of apples. How much did the apples cost?

Answer 1

A(n) = 3.50n + 1.00

Martin bought 3^3 apples or 27 apples.

Let n = 27

A(27) = 3.50(27) + 1.00

A(27) = $95.50
