Question

Mrs. Ashe is planning to take her study group on a field trip to an amusement park. The regular cost is $43 per person. There is a party special that costs $38 per person with an additional $40 fee for a private room where students can eat lunch. Mrs. Ashe is trying to decide if she should use the regular price or the party special.

Part 1:

A) Write an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) to show the total cost of the regular price with x people, where x = number of students in the study group and y = the total cost.



B) Write an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) to show the total cost of the party special with x people, where x = number of students in the study group and y = the total cost.



You will submit these equations for part 1 of the assignment (DUE Tuesday, March 3rd, 2020 by midnight). You will receive feedback to determine if your equations are correct. You MUST have these equations correct in order to be successful in part 2 of the Project.

Answer 1

Answer:

666666666666666666

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Part 1;

A ; Y = 43x

B ; Y = 38 x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the equation ; y = mx + b

Where y is the total cost, x the number of students, m will be the multiplier and b any kind of offset.

As per information given, equation for case a will be written as;

Y = 43x + 0

Y = 43x

As per information given, equation for case 2 will be written as;

Y = 38 x + 40

Here 40 is the offset payment.

To decide the lowermost cost, one has to know the total students for the trip
