Question

Write a function rule that gives the total cost c(p) of p pounds of

sugar if each pound costs $0.59.

Answer 1

Cost = Pounds of Sugar X 0.59

C= P X 0.59

Answer 2

Answer: The required function rule is,

`c(p) = 0.59p`

Explanation:

Given,

The cost of one pound of sugar = $ 0.59

The cost of p pound of sugar = 0.59p,

Let c(p) represents the cost of p pounds of sugar,

c(p) = 0.59p

Which is the required function that gives the total cost c(p) of p pounds of sugar.
