Question

To charter a fishing boat for 3 hours the captain charges a base fee of 45.00 plus 15.00 per person using variables construct a function that models the total cost of a 3-hour charter in terms of the number of people in your function. Define any variables you use. What is the correct interpretation of the initial value snd the rate of change

Answer 1

$90.00

Explanation:

Given

`c = 45.00`--- base fee

`m = 15.00` --- rate

`x = 3` --- individuals

Required

Determine the total amount paid (y)

The relationship between the variables is:

`Total = Base\ Fee + Rate * Individuals`

`y = c + mx`

This gives:

`y = 45.00 + 15.00 * 3`

`y = 45.00 + 45.00`

`y = 90.00`

Hence, the amount is $90.00
