Use the expression $100 + 5n to find the total price for n students to take a field trip to the science museum. If 175 students go on the field trip, how much will total cost?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total cost= $975

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total cost= 100 + 5*n

n= number of students

The $100 is a fixed cost. It remains constant no matter the number of students. The $5 is the unitary variable cost. The total variable cost increases with the number of students.

Total cost for 175 students:

Total cost= 100 + 5*175

Total cost= $975
