tickets to a basketball game can be ordered online for a set price per ticket plus a $5.50 service fee. the total cost in dollars for ordering 5 tickets is $108.00. which linear function represents c, the total cost, when x tickets are ordered? (a service fee is a single fee applied to the total, no matter the number of tickets purchased)\n\nc(x)=5.50 + 20.50x\n\nc(x)=5.50x + 20.50\n\nc(x)=5.50 + 21.60x\n\nc(x)=5.50x + 21.60
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Find cost of 5 tickets without service fee
$108 - 5.50=102.50$
Step2: Find cost per ticket
$\frac{102.50}{5}=20.50$
Step3: Form linear - function
The total cost $c(x)$ has a fixed service - fee of $5.50$ and a cost of $20.50$ per ticket. So $c(x)=5.50 + 20.50x$.
Answer:
A. $c(x)=5.50 + 20.50x$
