Question

CC wants to buy online tickets for a concert. Two options are given here.

Option 1: $80 for each ticket plus a shipping fee of $10

Option 2: $85 for each ticket and free shipping

Select the equation for Option 1.
y=85x
y=−85x
y=80x+10
y=10x+80

Answer 1

The correct equation for Option 1, pricing each ticket at $80 with an additional $10 shipping fee regardless of the number of tickets bought, is y = 80x + 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for Option 1, where CC buys online tickets for a concert at $80 each with a $10 shipping fee, can be written as a linear equation where y represents the total cost and x represents the number of tickets.

The equation is y = 80x + 10.

This is because each ticket is $80, so the number of tickets times $80 gives the total ticket cost, and the shipping fee is added once, hence the +10 in the equation.
