Your school is planning a banquet. The cost of renting a function room is $240. The cost of food is $13 for each person attending. Write an expression for the total cost for p people. Then evaluate your expression for 58 people.
13p + 240 = t
I was wondering i'm raking the same test. So I was wondering if you happen to have any other answerd? If you don't it's ok.
To write an expression for the total cost for p people, we need to consider both the cost of renting the function room and the cost of the food.
The cost of renting the function room is a fixed cost of $240.
The cost of food is calculated by multiplying the number of people attending, p, by the cost per person, which is $13.
Therefore, the expression for the total cost for p people is:
Total cost = Cost of renting the function room + Cost of food
Total cost = $240 + ($13 x p)
To evaluate the expression for 58 people, substitute p = 58 into the expression:
Total cost = $240 + ($13 x 58)
Total cost = $240 + $754
Total cost = $994
So, the total cost for 58 people would be $994.
