Jessie owns a hot dog stand and sells specialized hot dogs. He charges $1.50 for a plain hot dog and then an additional $0.50 for each topping that you want. This can be modeled by the equation C = .5x + 1.5, where C is the total cost of the hot dog and x is the number of toppings you ordered. The company that he buys his hot dogs from was having a sale so he was able to buy the hot dogs for less. He will now sell them for $0.25 less than before. What should be changed in the equation C = .5x + 1.5 to represent this?
