Question

Tom wants to order tickets so that he and three of his friends can go together to a water park. The cost of the tickets is $16.00 per person. There is also a $2.50 one-time service fee for ordering tickets online. Write an expression in terms of n that represents the cost for ordering n tickets online

Answer 1

`C(n)=16n+2.50`

Explanation:

et

n-----> the number of tickets online

C----> the cost for ordering n tickets online

we know that

The linear equation that represent the cost is equal to

`C(n)=16n+2.50` ----> linear equation in slope intercept form

where

the slope m is equal to
`m=16(\$)/(person)`

The y-intercept (one-time service fee) is equal to
`\$2.50`

n is the number of tickets online
