Question

31. A student brought concert tickets online. The total cost, c, in dollars, of t tickets can be found using the funtion below

c=24.50t+9.5
If the student spent a total of $132 on tickets, how many tickets did he buy?​

Answer 1

He bought 5 tickets.

Explanation:

The cost of buying t tickets is given by the following function:

`c(t) = 24.50t + 9.5`

If the student spent a total of $132 on tickets, how many tickets did he buy?​

This is t when
`c(t) = 132`. So

`c(t) = 24.50t + 9.5`

`132 = 24.50t + 9.5`

`24.50t = 122.5`

`t = (122.5)/(24.5)`

`t = 5`

He bought 5 tickets.
