Answer 2

B

Explanation:

You have to look at the second term to be sure of the meaning of t - 15n

What the given term says is that the total number of tickets sold (p) will decrease by 15 times the number of increases that there are.

The other term says that the cost of 1 ticket will increase that each ticket will increase by 2 dollars for each change in the ticket prices providing that change is 2 dollars.

C is out of the question. The information talks about 2 dollars per increase which is the first term.

A is not quite correct. It implies there is exactly 1 ticket increase. The crorect answer is the ticket increases can be a number of times (n)

The answer is B
