Question

Salim wants to purchase tickets from a vendor

to watch a tennis match. The vendor charges a
one-time service fee for processing the
purchase of the tickets. The equation T = 15n+
12 represents the total amount T, in dollars,
Salim will pay for n tickets. What does 12
represent in the equation?
A. The price of one ticket, in dollars
B. The amount of the service fee, in dollars
C. The total amount, in dollars, Salim will pay
for one ticket
D. The total amount, in dollars, Salim will pay
for any number of tickets

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

In the equation it states there is a one-time fee charge so we would add this when writing it in an expression. Since the expressions is: T = 15n + 12; and the only number being added is 12, we can assume the number 12 represents the service fee cost.
