Answer:
Total Cost : y = 2.75 + m (1) , where m = cost of each item
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of admission and 3 samples = $5.75
The cost of admission and 6 samples = $8.75.
Cost is represented by y ,
The number of Samples = x
Let the admission charge is each case = $ a.
⇒ Total Cost y = a + (Number of items tasted x Cost of each item)
So, according to the question:
First Case:
a + 3x = $ 5.75
Second Case:
a + 6x = $ 8.75
Solving the above system of equations, we get a = $ 2.75
And , if a = $2.75 then x = 1
Hence, the Total Cost y = 2.75 + m (1) , here m = cost of each item
