Question

A caterer charges a $65 equipment fee to set up for a party and $9.50 per p person for food served at the party. Which of the functions ƒ(p) could be used to determine the total cost of a having a party catered?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total cost function of having a party catered  is f(p)  =  65 + 9.50 p

Step-by-step explanation:

The equipment fee of the caterer = $65

The charge per plate = $9.50

Let, Total number of people invited in the party = p

So, the cost of plates of p people  = Number of people x Per plate cost

                                                         =  p  x $9.50

Now, Total Catering Cost = Equipment Fee +  Cost of all plates

or,                       Total cost =  $65  + p  x $9.50

Hence, the total cost function of having a party catered

 is f(p)  =  65 + 9.50 p.
