Question

(PLEASE SOLVE ASAP!!) Suppose the entry fee to Arches national park is $25 per vehicle. Suppose the entrance fee to Bryce national park can be represented by the equation y=30x, where y represents the total cost in dollars, and x represents the number of vehicles. Which park has the greatest cost per vehicle?

Answer 1

Bryce national park has the greatest cost per vehicle.

Explanation:

From the question, we are given the following:

For Arches national park

Cost per vehicle or entry fee per vehicle at Arches national park = $25

For Bryce national park

We have:

y = 30x ........................... (1)

y = the total cost in dollars

x = the number of vehicles

To obtain the cost per vehicle at Bryce national park, we have to assume that the number of vehicles is one by setting x equal to one, that is, x = 1.

Substituting x = 1 into equation (1), we have:

y = 30 * 1 = 30

This implies that cost per vehicle at Bryce national park is $30.

Conclusion

Since the $30 cost per vehicle at Bryce national park is greater than the $25 cost per vehicle at Arches national park, it therefore implies that Bryce national park has the greatest cost per vehicle.
