Question
2. Jane and Jorge want to rent a hall for their wedding. The hall charges a
maintenance fee of $300 and a cost of $25 per plate for supper. Write an
equation to model this situation.
Solution
A one-time maintenance fee of $300 is charged. This is a fixed cost because
it must be paid regardless of the number of people who attend. The cost per
plate is the number we will multiple our variable by.
Equation is C = 25n + 300
Cost per Person
