Given:

Joining fee = $28

Fee of each event = $4

To find:

Total cost for someone to attend 4 events.

Solution:

Let the number of events be x and total fee be y.

Fee for 1 event = $4

Fee for x events = $4x

Joining fee remains constant. So, the total fee is

$y=28+4x$

Substitute x=4 in this equation.

$y=28+4(4)$

$y=28+16$

$y=44$

Therefore, total cost of 4 events is $44.
