Full Question:

The student council needs posters for the Winter Carnival. The print shop charges $15 for each print job. Each poster will cost an additional $1.35.

Which equation shows the relationship between the number of posters, n, and the total cost, c, in dollars?

Answer:

`C = 15 + 1.35n`

Explanation:

Given

`Base\ Charge = \$15`

`Cost\ per\ print = \$1.35`

Required

Determine an equation to calculate the total cost

First, we need to determine the cost of n posters;

If 1 poster costs $1.35, then

`n\ posters = n * 1.35`

`n\ posters = 1.35n`

Next, add the cost of n posters to the base charge. This gives total cost (C)

`C = Base\ Charge + n\ posters`

`C = 15 + 1.35n`
