Question

At the beginning of the season, Jamie pays full price for a ticket to see Panters, her favorite baseball team. The Panthers currently have 33 wins and 31 losses. A. Represent the total change in the cost of a ticket given in their losses. B. What is the cost of a ticket for the next game they play?

Answer 1

a) The cost of the ticket decreases by $0.41 for every game loss, therefore after 31 losses, the change in cost of ticket is given as:

Change in cost = -$0.41 × number of losses = -$0.41 × 31 = -$12.71

b) The cost of a ticket for the next game given they have 31 losses is:

Cost of ticket = Initial cost of ticket + change in cost = $49.64 - $12.71 = $36.93
