Answer 2

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Write an equation for the cost of fish at each fish store.

a) Wet pets

We must consider the initial price and the cost of each fish.

total cost = C

kit cost = $15

cost of each fish = $0.60

cost of one fish = f

C = 15 + 0.60f

Example, if the number of fish is 4, then the total cost will be

C = 15 + 0.60(4)

C = 15 + 2.4

C = $ 17.4

b) Grips and Frills

total cost = C

kit cost = $13

cost per fish = $0.80

cost of one fish = f

Equation

C = 13 + 0.8f
