Question

A person can pay $9 for a membership to the history museum and then go to the museum for just $1 per visit. For a member of the history museum, what is the total cost of 23 visits?

Answer 1

$32

Explanation:

Step one:

Given that membership is $9 and the cost per visit is $1

let the number of visits be x

and the total cost be y

the total cost for the situation is modeled as

y=mx+c-----equation of a line

Step two:

given that x=23, we can solve for the totals cost as

by substituting we have

y=1*23+9

y=23+9

y=32

The total cost for 23 visits is $32
