Question

A ticket to see your favorite baseball team cost $43.32. The price decreases by $0.25 for every game loss during the regular season. What equation could you use to find the cost C of a ticket after L losses? Represent the total change in the cost of a ticket after the team loses 24 games. What is the price of a ticket after the team loses 24 games?

Answer 1

$37.82

Explanation:

Given that the cost of the ticket is

$43.32

and the price decrease is by $0.25

let the cost be C

and let the number of losses be L

the expression for the cost we be

C=43.32-0.25L

for the number of losses which is 22 we have

C=43.32-0.25(22)

C=43.32-5.5

C=37.82

Therefore the price after 22 losses is $37.82
