Question

Write a function to describe the following scenario.

A movie theater runs a special promotion where each person pays $10 for an all-day ticket and $2 for each item at the concession stand. How much does each person pay for their day at the movie theater?

Answer 1

y= 2x + 10

Explanation:

$10 is the amount that every person has to pay no matter what. However, the amount of money someone pays at the concession depends on how many things they buy.

$2 is the cost of each thing at the concession but depends on "x".

x can also represent the amount of things that one buys.

for example: if someone buys nothing at the concession, they only will pay the $10 to get in

2(0) + 10 = 10

while someone who buys one thing at the concession will pay $12

2(1) + 10 = 12

hope this helps!

Answer 2

It's y=2x+10. It's the person pays $2 for EACH which means they can pay for any number which is x since it's unknown. so the first is 2.
