Question

A caterer charges a $40 fee plus an additional $6.25 per person. She determines the total cost, C, for x people by using the equation shown above. How much will a party cost for 80 people?

Answer 1

As its $6.25 for each person and it’s 80 people we would do $6.25x80 getting you $500 and with the fee added it would be $540 and the expression would be
$40+$6.25(80)=c
