Question:
A paintball court charges an initial entrance fee plus a fixed price per ball. P represents the total price (in dollars) as a function of the number of balls used n.
P=0.80n+5.50
What is the price for 10 balls, not including the entrance fee?
Answer:
$8
Explanation:
We are given the function:
P=0.80n+5.50
Where n represents the number of balls. From this function, the entrance fee = 5.50
We are asked to calculate the price for 10 balls without the entrance fee. This is given as:
0.80n = 0.80 × 10 balls
= $8
The price for 10 balls, not including the entrance fee is $8
