Answer:
a. [tex]c = 9 + 0.5w[/tex]
b. She'll pay $11.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Base Fee = $9
Additional Fee = $0.50 per show
Solving (a): Find the relationship between c and w
c = Monthly cost
w = Number of shows
c = Base Fee + Additional Fee * Number of Shows
[tex]c = 9 + 0.5 * w[/tex]
[tex]c = 9 + 0.5w[/tex]
Solving (b): Find c if w = 5
[tex]c = 9 + 0.5w[/tex]
Substitute 5 for w
[tex]c = 9 + 0.5 * 5[/tex]
[tex]c = 9 + 2.5[/tex]
[tex]c = 11.5[/tex]
Hence, She'll pay $11.5
