Question #3

Let take that Sarah will have x guests (where 10 ≤ x ≤30). In this case Sarah’s cost will be

equal to

C=99+11 ( x−8 )=11+11 x .

d. If Sarah had 23 guests at the shower, it will cost:

C ( 23 )=11 ∙23+11=253+11=$ 264.

Answer: $264.

Question #5

a) According to the task, the fixed cost equal $15.99 (for 10 miles), the variable

cost equal $2.88 per each additional mile. Let take that the number of miles is x, then cost

function (C ( x )) will be equal:

C ( x )=2.88 ∙ ( x−10 ) +15.99=2.88 x−12.81 .

Answer: C ( x )=2.88 x−12.81 .

b) The number of miles - x. The cost for a ride – C.

c) As we see from the equation, the constant is -12.81.

 d) Dr. Paris needs to ride for 61 miles to the airport. According to the our

equation, the cost equal to:

C ( 61 ) =2.88∙ 61−12.81=175.68−12.81=162.87 .

Answer: $162.87.
