Question

To charter a fishing boat for 3 hours, the captain charges a base fee of $45.00 plus $15.00 per person. Using variables, construct a function that models the total cost of a 3-hour charter in terms of the number of people. In your function, define any variables you use. In terms of the situation modeled by this function, what is the correct interpretation of the initial value and the rate of change?

Answer 1

Answer:

$90.00

Step-by-step explanation:

m=15.00 --- rate

x = 3x=3 --- individuals

Required

Determine the total amount paid (y)

The relationship between the variables is:

Total = Base\ Fee + Rate * IndividualsTotal=Base Fee+Rate∗Individuals

y = c + mxy=c+mx

This gives:

y = 45.00 + 15.00 * 3y=45.00+15.00∗3

y = 45.00 + 45.00y=45.00+45.00

y = 90.00y=90.00

Hence, the amount is $90.00
