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 n P=0.80n+5.50 What is the price for 10 balls, not including the entrance fee?
It says P = per ball (which will be a number, n, for balls times the fixed price) plus a set entrance fee. So we find that the price per ball is $0.80, so 10 balls cost $8.
