Question

A youth group is planning a trip to a theme park. The bus holds up to 40 people. The cost for bus parking is $60.00. Each person going on the trip will be paying $36.00 for a ticket to enter the park.
The equation that models this trip is T = 36x + 60, where T represents the total cost for the group to take the trip and x equals the number of people going. What values are appropriate for the domain?
A) x = 40
B) x = 60
C) 0≤ x≤ 40
D) 0≤ x≤ 39

Answer 1

Given equation is:

$T=36x+60$

Where T is the total cost; $36 is the entry fee per person and $60 is the one time bus parking fee.

As given, the bus holds up to 40 people, so let the total number of people be represented by 'x'

The bus holds up to 40 people so 'x' is either less than 40 or equal to 40.

Or this can be written as : $x\leq 40$

Hence, the domain will lie between 0 and 40.

So option C : 0≤ x≤ 40 is the answer.
