Question

Megan and her sister are planning their

16th birthday party and want a band to
come perform. The band charges an $45
deposit and $12.50 per hour they are at the
party. Write the equation that best
represents the relationship for y, the total
amount spent at the party, and x the
number of hours the band performed.

Answer 1

Answer: y = 12.50x + 45

Explanation:

if x is the number of hours and you pay $12.50 per hour then we can come up the expression 12.50x

You will be charge $45 as an initial fee so it will be 12.50x + 45 and that has to equal the total cost which is y.

y = 12.50x + 45
