Given :
A ticket to see your favorite baseball team costs $30.08.
That price decreases by $0.42 for every game lost during the regular season.
To Find :
What equation could you use to find the cost C of a ticket after L losses.
Solution :
Let, n is number of match loses and P is the price of ticket.
So, equation is given by :
P = 30.08 - (0.42)n .......1)
Putting n = 27 in above equation,we get :
P = 30.08 - ( 0.42 )( 27 )
P = $18.74
Therefore, the price of a ticket after the team loses 27 games is $18.74 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
