Question

At Simba Travel Agency, the price of a climbing trip to Mount Kilimanjaro includes an initial fee plus a constant fee per meter.

F represents the fee (in dollars) for climbing d meters.

F=110+0.12d
What is the increase in price for every 100 meters climbed?

Answer 1

$12

Explanation:

You want to know the price increase per 100 meters if the fee for climbing d meters is ...

f = 110 + 0.12d

Rate of change

The rate of change indicated by the coefficient of d in the equation is 0.12 for each unit of d. Then the amount of change for 100 units of d is ...

0.12(100) = 12

The price increases by $12 for every 100 meters climbed.
