It costs $100 to rent the bowling alley, plus $4 per person. The cost for any number (n) of people can be found using the expression 100 + 4n. The cost for 15 people equals $ . (how much does it equal

ScamTheMan:

This question just requires a bit of substitution. Since we know that the term "n" represents people, we can use the 15 and substitute it in for n. Making the equation: 100 + 4(15). Now all you need to do is multiply and add and you get your final answer: $160 If you didn't understand I can try and rephrase my explanation

gabrielchestnut:

oh no you are fine

ScamTheMan:

perfect, make sure to best response it and stuff

And it's not too much work either so why not

gabrielchestnut:

its wrong i already got the answer

jhonyy9:

yes - this is the right way

ScamTheMan:

What was the answer??

gabrielchestnut:

it was 16

gabrielchestnut:

i meant 60

ScamTheMan:

Oh, did they not want the total cost? I was under the impression that they wanted the entire cost, bowling alley and all. Not just the people cost. My mistake, I apologize

gabrielchestnut:

it was just the cost for the people

gabrielchestnut:

it was 15 people and you multiply that by 4

gabrielchestnut:

then you get 60

ScamTheMan:

Ah yeah that was my bad

gabrielchestnut:

but hey you tried

jhonyy9:

no - i think the question is clearly The cost for any number (n) of people can be found using the expression 100 + 4n. The cost for 15 people equals $ . (how much does it equal - this formula was given to use it so the cost for 15 people equal what you calcule using this formula my opinion

ScamTheMan:

Yeah, the question is formulated weirdly, giving the formula when it wasn't needed to solve the equation. Weird question

gabrielchestnut:
