Question

a caterer offers a package that fees up to 50 people for $1500 and adds an additional charge of $24.75 for each additional person. Enter a linear model that represents the total amount charge a host, t, as a function of g, the number of additional guests.

Answer 1

Answer: 24.75g+1500 = t

Explanation:

$24.75 is being charged per additional guest, therefore making that the slope of the linear equation.

- g is the number of guests which can vary depending on how many guests show up, therefore g would be multiplied by $24.75 because that is the additional price charged per guest.

$1500 was the additional fee for catering, therefore making that the y-intercept of the linear equation.
