A paintball court charges an initial entrance fee plus a fixed price per ball. The variable ppp models the total price (in dolla
rs) as a function of nnn, the number of balls used. p=0.80n+5.50p=0.80n+5.50p, equals, 0, point, 80, n, plus, 5, point, 50 What is the entrance fee? \$
Multiplying this variable by 0.80 means $0.80 will be the cost per ball. The additional amount added to the variable in the function, 5.50, will be the entrance fee.
42/12 = 3.5, 63/18 = 3.5, therefore we will be multiplying the last time by 3.5. 40x3.5= 140, and therefore, the number of pencils produced in 40 seconds is 140
