Question

Write a rational expression that represents how much you would need to charge each attendee in order to cover cost of hosting the event. Let x be the number of attendees.

Answer 1

Step 1

Let x be the number of attendees

Step 2

Cost of hosting the event for x attendees

`\text{cost of hosting the event = 100 + 55x}`

Step 3

To calculate the charge per person, you will divide the cost of hosting the event by the total number of attendees x.

`Charge\text{ per each attendees = \$}\frac{100\text{ + 55x}}{x}`

Final answer

`charge\text{ per each attendees = \$ }\frac{100\text{ + 55x}}{x}`
