Question

At wet pets, a starter tree aquarium kit cost $15 plus $.60 per fish. At grips and frills, the same kit is $13 plus $.80 per fish. Give an equation for the cost c of fish at each store.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for the cost of fish at each fish store.

a) Wet pets

We must consider the initial price and the cost of each fish.

total cost = C

kit cost = $15

cost of each fish = $0.60                      

cost of one fish = f

                                C =  15 + 0.60f

Example, if the number of fish is 4, then the total cost will be

                                 C = 15 + 0.60(4)

                                 C = 15 + 2.4

                                 C = $ 17.4                      

b) Grips and Frills

total cost = C

kit cost = $13

cost per fish = $0.80

cost of one fish = f

Equation

                              C = 13 + 0.8f
