Answer:

<em>y = 8x</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When the number of people increased by 10, the caterer charged an additional $80. Therefore, we estimate that the cost per person is $8. In order to verify:

  • $8/person × 15 people = $120. True.
  • $8/person × 25 people = $200. True.

Therefore, if we let <em>x</em> represent the number of people being cater for and <em>y</em> represent the cost, the equation to model the situation is simply <em>y = 8x</em>.
