Question

e owner of a skatepark wants to increase her entry fee of $5 Buy in increments of $0.50 currently the skate park has an average of 500 paying customers per week the equation (500 - 25x)( $5 + $0.50x) give me the estimated weekly income where X is the number of $0.50 entry fee price increases if the entry fee is increased to $7.50 what will be the expected average number of paying customers each week

Answer 1

375

Explanation:

Answer 2

375 paying customers

Explanation:

First you need to find how much the fee was increased from $5.00 to $7.50

7.5 - 5 = 2.5

Then how many times the pay increase goes into that number to find your X value

2.5/.5 = 5

Now that we have found our x value lets plug it into the equation to find the money the park will make in increments of 1

500 - 25(1) = 475

500 - 25(2) = 450

500 - 25(3) = 425

500 - 25(4) = 400

500 - 25 (5) = 375
