Question

FIVE STAR®

Answer 1

Answer:

• 300 -- venue cost
• 24 -- cost for each couple
• x -- the number of couples
• 24x the cost associated with all couple
• 300+24x -- the total cost for the dance

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the scenario that cost is $300 for the venue and $24 for each couple attending a dance at that venue, you want to know the meaning of the variables and terms in 300 +24x.

Comparison

You can compare the terms, coefficients, and variables in the given expression with the parts of the problem statement.

• 300 is a constant term that corresponds to "$300 for a venue rental'
• 24 is a coefficient that corresponds to "$24 for each couple"
• x is a variable representing the number of "couple that attends"
• 24x is a term representing the cost associated with "$24 for each couple that attends"

That is, the cost associated with the number of people attending is $24 times the number of couples: 24x. The expression 300+24x is the total of the fixed venue cost and the per-couple costs
