Question

To enter a local fair, one must pay an entrance fee and pay for the number of ride tickets he/she wants. admission to the fair is given by the equation f(x) = .50x 10, where x represents the number of tickets purchased and f(x) represents the total price. on opening weekend, they have a discount night where they decrease the ticket price to 5 cents each. how does this change the equation?

Answer 1

 the answer is f(x) = .05x + 10

Answer 2

Answer:

The new equation would be $f(x)=0.05x+10$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation  $f(x)=0.50x+10$

• 10 dollars in the fixed entrance fee, and
• 50 cents is the price of each ticket

If the ticket price is brought down to 5 cents, so 50 cents should be 5 cents.

5 cents in dollars is  $\frac{5}{100}=0.05$

So the new equation would be  $f(x)=0.05x+10$

Hence, the .50 part in the equation changes to .05
