Question

a national park has two options: a $50 pass for all admissions during the year, or a $4 entrance fee each time you enter. Write an equation to model the cost of going to the park for a year using the pass and another equation for paying a fee each time

Answer 1

With the variable "y" being used to represent the total cost of going to the park for a year, the first equation would read "y = 50" since it is a one-time, flat cost. The second equation would be "y = 4x", with "x" being used to represent the number of times the person visited the park during the year multiplied by the $4 cost per visit.
