Question

A ticket to see your favorite baseball team costs $45.65. That price decreases by $0.25 for every game lost during the regular season. What equation could you use to find the cost of a ticket after L losses? Represent the total change in the cost of a ticket after the team loses 42 games. What is the price of a ticket after the team loses 42 games?

Answer 1

Cost = $45.65 - $0.25L

after 42 losses:

45.65 - 0.25(42) = $35.15
