Question

The total cost for playing paintball is Php 100 per gun for rent and Php 1000 per 2000 paintballs. Assuming only 2000 paintballs is allowed for team who will play, which of the following function notation matches the situation? Select one: a. P(x) = 100x + 2000 b. P(x) = 2000x + 100x c. P(x) = 2000 - 100x d. P(x) = 100 + 2000x

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (a) P(x) = 100x + 2000

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be two teams playing paintball and one team is allowed to play with only 2000 paintballs which costs Php 1000. So paintballs of two teams will cost Php 2000. One cannot buy more than 2000 for a game.

Also they need to buy the guns. One gun costs Php 100. So if there are x number of people playing the game, they need to buy x guns. The cost of the x guns for a game will be 100x

Thus, the cost function that is formed here is

P(x) = 100x + 2000

Therefore, option (a) is correct.

Hope this is helpful.
