The cost in dollars of a field trip is 64 + 14n + where n is the number of people attending. What is the cost for 48 people?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

plug in 48 for n, sine 48 ppl are attending and n represents the number of people.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 48 right?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

the n is, but not the answer, the answer would be, $64+ 14 dollars per person, So, plug in '48' into 64 + 14n.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I add that all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 126 :)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

No!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@victoria_sipes, lets focus on 14n, what do you think 14n means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

n is the number of people, and 14 is the cost per person. So for 2 people how much money will you pay (without the initial 64 dollars) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they would pay 28 dollars ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OK, so for 48 people, how much money they would pay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I said 28

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for 2 people

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I am asking a different question now, for 48 people.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

672

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dollers

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, and with 64 more dollars, since it is 64+14n?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yup!
