Question

A bag of chips costs $2.42. Your total grocery bill, b, is a function of the number of bags of chips, n, you purchase. Write an equation to represent this function,

Answer 1

`b(n)=2.42n`

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the grocery bill b is a function of n (the number of bags of chips). This means that the grocery bill can be represented as b(n).

Furthermore, we know that each bag of chips costs 2.42, meaning n bags of chips will cost 2.42n - which is the grocery bill b(n); therefore,

`b(n)=2.42n`

which is the equation the gives the grocery bill (as a function of n, the number of chips bags bought).
