Question

11. The student council is comparing prices for their semi-formal dance. They compare banquet. Hall A charges $40 per person. Hall B charges $20 per person plus $500 fixed fee. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the total cost and the number of people, if the variables are defined as follows:

Answer 1

TC (A) = 40x , TC (B) = 500 + 20x

Explanation:

Let the number of students be = x

Hall A Total Cost

Relationship Equation, where TC (A) = f (students) = f (x) 40 per person (student) = 40x

Hall B Total Cost

Relationship Equation, where TC (B) = f (students) = f (x) 500 fix fee & 20 per person (student) = 500 + 20x
