Question

Orlando went to a game room which charged $3.00 admission, plus $0.50 per game token. The equation representing his cost is y = 0.50x + 3.

When he graphs this, what should be the label on the x-axis?


number of tokens


admission


total cost


cost per token

Answer 1

number of tokens

Explanation:

The admission cost is fixed at $3.00 and thus this will represent our y-intercept. On the other hand $0.50 is charged per game token. In the equation;

y = 0.50x + 3

y represents the total cost function

x is the variable representing the number of tokens

3 is the admission cost

0.50 is the cost per token
