Question

A local cable tv company charges a base fee of $35 per month plus an additional

$12 per month for each additional premium channel. The monthly charges can be
represented with equation C = 35 + 12p, where p is the number of premium channels
and C is the total monthly charge.
A. What would be the monthly charge for the service if you are watching 5
premium channels? Show how you found your answer.

Answer 1

95$

Explanation:

Since there are 5 premium channels, we multiply the rate of charges by the number of premium channels to get the extra payment.

5 channels x 12$ per channel = 50$

Now we add this to 35 since C= 35 + 12 or 35 plus the premium channel costs

35$ + 50 = 95$
