Question

A ticket to see your favorite baseball team costs ​$31.55. That price decreases by ​$0.21 for every game lost during the regular season. What equation could you use to find the cost C of a ticket after L​ losses? Represent the total change in the cost of a ticket after the team loses 22 games. What is the price of a ticket after the team loses ​22 games?

Answer 1

The price of a ticket after the team loses 22 games is $26.93

Explanation:

Original value = $31.55

value decrease per game lost = $0.21

equation uses C and L

C = 31.55 - 0.21L

22 games lost

C = 31.55 - 0.21(22)

C = 31.55 - 4.62

C = 26.93

C = $26.93
