Question

What is the processThe cost of a school banquet is $95 plus $15 for each person attending. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that models this situation. What is the cost for 77 people?

Answer 1

The total is $1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

The cost of a school banquet is $95

And an additional $15 for each person

Let the number of persons attending the banquet be x

and let the total expenses be y so the slope-intercept form is given as

`y= 95+15x------------1`

Step two:

Now for x= 77, the total expenses would be

`y= 95+15(77)\\\\y= 95+1155\\\\y=$1250`
