Question

A family went to a baseball game. They parked the car in a parking lot which charged​ $5. The cost per ticket was​ $21. Write an equation for the total cost of going to the baseball​ game, where y is the total cost and x is the total number of people.

Complete the equation. y=

Answer 1

Explanation:

y = 21x + 5

we don't know how many people there are in this family. but I assume they still fit into one car, so that they had to pay the parking fee only once.

each ticket to the game costs $21, which is why we have to multiply 21 by the number of people. and then we have a flat fee of $5 for the parking.

Answer 2

y = 21x + 5

Step-by-step explanation

The cost for the parking spot does not change, while the cost per ticket can (depending on how many people there are).
