Question

A paintball court charges an initial entrance fee plus a fixed price per ball. P represents the total price (in dollars) as a function of the number of balls used nnn. P=0.80n+5.50P=0.80n+5.50P, equals, 0, point, 80, n, plus, 5, point, 50 How much do 101010 balls cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of 10 balls is $P=\ 13.50$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

n -----> the number of balls used

P ----> the total price in dollars

we have

$P=0.80n+5.50$

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form

where

the slope is

$m=0.80\ \frac{\ }{ball}$

$b=\ 5.50$ ----> the coordinate y of y-intercept

To find out the cost of 10 balls, substitute the value of n=10 in the linear equation and solve for P

so

For n=10

$P=0.80(10)+5.50$

$P=\ 13.50$

Answer 2

Answer:

Therefore, the price of 10 multiply by 0.80 balls is $ 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of each ball is the relationship's rate of change, which in linear relationships is represented by the slope of the graph.

The equation for PPP is in slope-intercept form, so the slope of the graph is 0.80 . This means that each ball costs $ 0.80 dollar
