Question

A resort hotel in Scottsdale, AZ charges $1800 to rent a reception hall, plus $58 per person for dinner and open bar. The reception hall can accommodate up to 200 people. a) Write a function, T, to represent the total cost to rent the reception hall if n people attend the reception.

Answer 1

T(n) = 1800 + 58n

Explanation:

Rent reception = $1800

Charge per person = $58

Number of person who attend reception = n

Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost

Fixed cost = 1800

Variable cost = 58n

Total cost = T(n)

Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost

T(n) = 1800 + 58n
