imagine we buy two tickets, then we pay 19.95 each so 2*19.95, but we also a pay an extra 3$ charge just for buying any tickets at all.
so 
f(2) = 19.95(2)+3
if we buy x tickets, what will we pay?

anonymous · Answer

normal expression f(x) = 19.95(x) + 3.00 for five tickets replace x as 5 f(5)= 19.95(5)+3 which equals one hundred and three dollars

x being the number of tickets :) hope that helped
