Answer:

the number 8 tells the cost of each ticket

Explanation:

Given : The function describing the profit to be f(t) = 8t – 2654, where t is the number of tickets sold.

To Find: What does the number 8 tell you?

Solution :

Since we are given a function : f(t) = 8t – 2654

This function determines the profit (in $) and t represents the number of tickets

Since we know that profit is a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent

So, 8t represents the amount earned

Since t is the no. of tickets sold .

So, 8 represents the cost of each ticket

Hence the number 8 tells the cost of each ticket
