Question

Write a function rule that gives the total cost c(p) of p pounds of sugar if each pound costs $.59.

Answer 1

The function would be C(p) =0.59p


since its .59 cents per pound

Answer 2

We are given

cost of 1 pound of sugar =$0.59

total pounds =p

so,

total cost = (cost of 1 pound of sugar)*(total pounds)

total cost =$0.59*p

so, we get

$c(p)=0.59p$............Answer
