Question

The bowling alley charges $75.00 to reserve the location, and then $8.00 per person. Which expression represents the total cost for any number of people n?

Answer 1

75+8n

Explanation:

$75 is the constant because that is the amount of money only paid once. $8 is the coefficient because it is multipled by the variable n. The variable is the amount of people going to the bowling alley.

Therefore, to determine the total cost, you need add $75 to the product of 8 and the number of people coming.
