Which equation represents the amount a holiday meal
costs(y), including delivery, for x people?

Answer 1

12.50x+30

Explanation:

Answer 2

`y = 12.5x + 30`

Explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Cost of a holiday meal = $12.50

Delivery fee = $30

Cost(y) represents the amount a holiday meal including delivery for x people.

`cost = (\text{Cost of meal}* x) + \text{Delivery chareges}`

Putting all the values,

`y = 12.50* x + 30\\y = 12.5x + 30`

The above equation gives the total amount of holiday meal for x people including the delivery charges.
