Question

Three ice cream shops have provided quotes for catering Martina’s ice cream party. Each store charges a delivery fee in addition to a price per person.

Each store gives Martina its pricing plan in a different way, as shown below, where C is the total cost in dollars and n is the number of people who will attend the party.


Igloo Ice: C(n) = 1.75n + 75

Fred's Freeze: C(n) = 2n + 80

Tasty Treats: C(n) = 1.25n + 90


Which store has the lowest delivery charge: Igloo, Fred's, or Tasty?

Answer 1

Igloo Ice has the lowest delivery charge among the three ice cream shops.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which store has the lowest delivery charge, we need to compare the delivery fees for each store. The delivery fee is the constant term in each pricing plan. Let's compare:

Igloo Ice: C(n) = 1.75n + 75

Fred's Freeze: C(n) = 2n + 80

Tasty Treats: C(n) = 1.25n + 90

From the equations, we can see that Igloo Ice has the lowest delivery charge of $75, while Fred's Freeze has a delivery charge of $80, and Tasty Treats has the highest delivery charge of $90. Therefore, Igloo Ice has the lowest delivery charge among the three stores.

Answer 2

first subtract 1.75n-2n-1.25n then you subtract 75 80 and 90 then you divide by n
