to enter a local fair, one must pay an entrance fee and pay for the number of ride tickets he/she wants. Admission to the fair is given by the equation f(x) = .50x + 10, where x represents the number of tickets purchased and f(x) represents the total price. On opening weekend, they have a discount night where they decrease the ticket price to 5 cents each. How does this change the equation?
In the equation f(x) = .50x + 10, $0.50 is the regular ticket price. On discount day, the tickets decrease to $0.05, so now, m = 0.05.
Therefore, the new equation is f(x) = .05x + 10
