A youth group is planning a trip to a local amusement park. They are taking a van which holds 10 people. It will cost $25 for parking and tickets to enter the park are $18 per person.
create an equation for this situation
What’s the dependent and independent for this situation?
And create a table and graph please help me I really need the answer for this problem.:(
for p people, the cost c is
c = 25 + 18p
the cost per person is 25/p + 18
Thank You!
To create an equation for this situation, let's define some variables:
Let "x" represent the number of people going on the trip.
Let "t" represent the total cost for tickets.
Let "p" represent the cost for parking.
According to the given information:
- The van can hold 10 people.
- Tickets cost $18 per person.
- Parking costs $25.
Now, let's break down the equation:
The cost for tickets is calculated by multiplying the number of people (x) by the price per ticket ($18):
t = 18x
The total cost is the sum of the cost for tickets and parking:
total cost = cost for tickets + cost for parking
total cost = t + p
Substituting the values of "t" and "p" into the equation:
total cost = 18x + 25
Therefore, the equation for this situation is:
total cost = 18x + 25
