Question

PLS HELP There are two options for purchasing tickets to baseball games, "single-game tickets" and "season tickets."

Single-game tickets cost $14.50 per game. Season tickets cost $318 upfront, plus $1.25 per game. Let C represent the cost of attending g baseball games.


Write equations to show how C depends on g for each option.

Answer 1

Explanation:

For single-game tickets, the cost C depends simply on the number of games attended g, and is given by:

C = 14.50g

For season tickets, there is an upfront cost of $318, plus an additional cost of $1.25 per game attended. So the cost C is given by:

C = 318 + 1.25g

Note that the 318 represents the cost for the entire season, regardless of the number of games attended. The 1.25g term represents the additional cost per game for attending g games.
