Final answer:
A complete analysis of domain and range requires additional information not provided in the question. However, for Alphonso's scenario, the domain is the number of bus tickets and burgers he can purchase, and the range is the quantities affordable within his budget. The price increase of bus tickets affects the opportunity cost of such purchases.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question provided requests an analysis of the scenario presented, involving the purchase of daily bus passes at $3 each. In terms of domain and range, we should consider the domain as the set of all possible quantities of daily bus passes that can be purchased, and the range as the total cost associated with those quantities. However, the given information relates to a different scenario involving the trade-off between buying burgers and bus tickets at different price points and does not define the domain and range for the question about daily passes for $3 each. Therefore, based on the scenario in the question, it would be necessary to know additional details such as the number of days in December or the budget restriction to establish a specific domain (number of passes) and range (total cost) for bus pass purchases.
If we were to analyze Alphonso's situation, where bus tickets cost $0.50 initially and then increased to $1, the domain would represent the number of bus tickets and burgers Alphonso could purchase, and the range would denote the possible quantities he could afford with his fixed budget of $10 per week. The price increase of bus tickets would affect Alphonso's budget constraint, and the opportunity cost of buying a bus ticket instead of a burger would double, meaning that for every bus ticket bought, Alphonso must now give up twice the amount of burgers compared to before the price increase.
