Question

Your family spends $30 for tickets to an aquarium and $3 per hour for parking. Write an equation that gives the total cost of your family’s visit to the aquarium as a function of the number of hours that you are there. If your family stays for 8 hours, how much money did your family spend for the visit?

Answer 1

Answer:

$54

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost = ticket cost  +  parking cost:

    C(x)      =  $30             +   ($3/hr)x

An 8-hour stay would cost:

      C(8)        =    $30 + ($3/hr)(8)   =   $54
