Question

Grant is a member of a book club. He pays a $10 yearly membership fee and can purchase books through the club for $2.75 each. His total annual cost is a function of the number of books that he purchases in a year. Let b represent the number of books he purchases in a year. Which function, C(b), represents his yearly cost

Answer 1

C(b) = 2.75b + 10

This is based of the f(x) = mx + b formula, where m is the slope, x is the variable (or input) and b is the y intercept. In this circumstance the slope is 2.75, so we change m for 2.75. The variable is the amount of books so we change it for b (like it says in the word problem), and and 10 is the starting cost, so it’s the y intercept, so we change b for 10.
