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?

"B) Replace the .5 with a .25 and the 1.5 with a 2.5"

DeadOfWinter · Answer

Because. In equation C = .5x + 1.5, the .5 is the cost of each additional topping and the 1.5 is the basic cost of the hot dog. Since Hattie charges different amounts for both of these she needs to Replace the .5 with a .25 and the 1.5 with a 2.5.
