Question

A memebers-only speaker series allows people to join for 35$ and then pay 2$ for every event attended. What is the total cost for someone to attend 8 events?

Answer 1

`\$51`

Step-by-step explanation

The club allows people to join for $35 and pay $2 for every event attended.

Let the number of events attended be x, this means that the cost of attending x events is:

`C=35+2x`

Therefore, the cost for 8 events will be:

`\begin{gathered} C=35+2(8) \\ C=35+16 \\ C=\$51 \end{gathered}`

That is the answer.
