Question

Trophies for Gunther's soccer team will cost $6.25 each, plus 15 cents for every word on the engraving. Which equation could be used to find the cost, c, of each trophy based on the number of words, w , on the engraving?

Answer 1

Explanation:

c = $6.25 + 0.15w

$6.25 represents the fixed cost. it is the cost that does not vary with the number of words

15 cents is the variable cost. it is the cost that varies with the number of words.

to write the equation convert 15 cents to dollars by dividing by 100.
