Answer: Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Mr. Bartley is taking the theater club on a field trip [which must include bus or other vehicle] to see the musical wicked. The school treasurer asked Mr. Bartley for the group's total ticket cost.
He wrote the following cost function for the school treasurer.
Total Cost =52(25+2)
Since cost function is a function based on number of people and per head cost.
So, the statement which best describe the cost function is "Tickets cost $25 and each person must contribute $2 for the bus. There are 52 people going on the trip."
3. When something is done to one side of the equation, the same thing must be done to the other side. Dividing each side by -4 in part A would cause the sign to flip because the sign is always flipped when dividing by a negative. Because 4 in 4x (part B) is not negative, the sign is not flipped.
