Question 4

Answer 1

Answer:

a $A = 30 + 0.45 n$

b $A = 90.3$

c 0 customers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Base\ Amount = 30$

$Rate = 0.45$ per customer

Solving (a): Amount (A) on n customers

This is calculated as:

$A = Base\ Amount + Rate * n$

$A = 30 + 0.45 * n$

$A = 30 + 0.45 n$

Solving (b): Amount on 134 customers

In this case: n = 134

So:

$A = 30 + 0.45 * 134$

$A = 30 + 60.3$

$A = 90.3$

Solving (c): Customers at noon.

At noon, the amount is 30.

So:

$A = 30 + 0.45 n$

$30 = 30 + 0.45n$

Collect like terms

$0.45n = 30 - 30$

$0.45n =0$

$n = 0$
