Question

Camille is attending a fundraiser. She pays for her admission and buys raffle tickets for $5dollar each. If she buys 10 raffle tickets, then she would spend a total of $135 at the fundraiser.

The number S of dollars Camille spends at the fundraiser is a function of r, the number of raffle tickets she buys.
Write the function's formula.

Answer 1

50r + a = 135

Admission cost was $85

Explanation:

We are missing a crucial amount of information here. It is how much she spent on her admission. We can create an equation symbolizing this problem.

5r + a = 135

We know that she purchases 10 tickets so we can substitute that in r and solve for a.

50 + a = 135

a = 85

Best of Luck!
