Question

The cost to buy tickets online for a dance show is $60 per ticket. a. Write a function that represents the cost C(x) (in $) for x tickets to the show. b. There is a sales tax of 5.5% and a processing fee of $8.00 for a group of tickets. Write a function that represents the total cost T(a) for a dollars spent on tickets. c. Find (T ∘ C)(x). d. Find (T ∘ C)(6) and interpret its meaning in the context of this problem.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given

cost of ticket=$60

a. the cost of x tickets is

C(x)=60x

b. sale tax of 5.5% of $60 is 5.5/100*60

0.55*60=$3.3

processing fee = $8

the total cost T(a) for a dollars spent on tickets.

T(a)=60a+3.3+8

T(a)=60a+11.3

c. Find (T ∘ C)(x).

T(x)=60x+11.3

d. Find (T ∘ C)(6)

T(6)=60*6+11.3

T(6)=360+11.3

T(6)=$371.3

This means that for 6 tickets with a tax of 5.5% and a processing fee of $8 the cost will be $371.3
