Question

An arcade charges a flat fee for $7 to enter and then $1.25 per ticket to play games. Write an equation that models the charges (C) in terms of the number of tickets (t) that you use: ​

Answer 1

C = 7 + 1.25t

Explanation:

7 remains constant

1.25 changes according to t

Answer 2

C(t ) = 1.25t + 7

Explanation:

We can establish the following equation:

C(t ) = 1.25t + 7

Where:

C(t ) = represents the total cost relative to the t number of tickets used

t = number of tickets used to play games

1.25 = cost per ticket to play games

7 = flat fee to enter the arcade
