The cost of parking is an initial cost plus an hourly cost.
The first hour costs $7.
You need a function for the cost of more than 1 hour,
meaning 2, 3, 4, etc. hours.
Each hour after the first hour costs $5.

1 hour: $7
2 hours: $7 + $5                  = 7 + 5 * 1          = 12
3 hours: $7 + $5 + $5          = 7 + 5 * 2          = 17
4 hours: $7 + $5 + $5 + $5  = 7 + 5 * 3          = 22

Notice the pattern above in the middle column.
The number of $5 charges you add is one less than the number of hours.
For 2 hours, you only add one $5 charge.
For 3 hours, you add two $5 charges.

Since the number of hours is x, according to the problem, 1 hour less than the number of hours is x - 1.

The fixed charge is the $7 for the first hour.
Each additional hour is $5, so you multiply 1 less than the number of hours,
x - 1, by 5 and add to 7.

C(x) = 7 + 5(x - 1)

This can be left as it is, or it can be simplified as

C(x) = 7 + 5x - 5

C(x) = 5x + 2

Answer: C(x) = 5x + 2

Check:
For 2 hours: C(2) = 5(2) + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
For 3 hours: C(3) = 5(3) + 2 = 15 + 2 = 17
For 4 hours: C(3) = 5(4) + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
Notice that the totals for 2, 3, 4 hours here
are the same as the right column in the table above.

The average weight of the class of 35 students was 45 KG. with the admission of a new student the average weight came down to 44
melamori03 [73]

The weight of the new student is 27 kg.

Average weight

= total weight ÷total number of students

<h3>1) Define variables</h3>

Let the total weight of the 35 students be y kg and the weight of the new student be x kg.

<h3>2) Find the total weight of the 35 students</h3>

<u>45 =  \frac{y}{35}</u>

y= 35(45)

y= 1575 kg

<h3>3) Write an expression for average weight of students after the addition of the new student</h3>

New total number of students

= 35 +1

= 36

Total weight

= total weight of 35 students +weight of new students

= y +x

44.5  =  \frac{y + x}{36}

<h3>4) Substitute the value of y</h3>

44.5 =  \frac{1575 + x}{36}

<h3>5) Solve for x</h3>

36(44.5)= 1575 +x

1602= x +1575

<em>Subtract 1575 from both sides:</em>

x= 1602 -1575

x= 27

Thus, the weight of the new student is 27 kg.
