Question

Option 1: Tram Fancy Baloons has offered to sell its balloon bouquet for a fixed down payment of $30 and an additional charge of $3.25 per bouquet. Write an algebraic rule that will determine the cost of "c" balloon bouquets

Answer 1

`C(b)=3.25b-30`

1) When we talk about a down payment we are referring to a payment done at the moment of purchase. In this case, the down payment is $30.

2) The other part of the cost is dependent on the number of bouquets.

3) Therefore, we can write out the following model, a linear one for this:

`C(b)=3.25b-30`

All that is necessary is to plug into b the number of bouquets.

Thus, this is the answer.
