Answer:
c(x)=5.50+20.50x
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation format we need is: c(x) = (service cost) + (individual ticket cost) x
c = total cost
x = the # of tickets ordered
We already know the service cost =$5.50
Now we need to get the cost of each individual ticket.
We subtract the service cost from the total cost of ordering 5 tickets:
$108 - $5.50 = $102.50
The total price of 5 tickets is $102.50.
To get the individual ticket price we now divide by 5:
$174.50/5 = $20.5
Fill in these answers into the equation:
c(x) = (service cost) + (individual ticket cost) x
c(x) = 5.50 + 20.50 x
