Each individual entry fee was $10.00.

The entry fee for the car was $10.00.
The entry fee for the car was $10.00.

The entry fee for the car was $12.50.

The entry fee for the car was $2.50.

Answer 1

The expression \(2.5x + 10\) can be broken down as follows:

• \(2.5x\) represents the total cost of individual entry fees for \(x\) number of people (where \(2.5\) is the cost per person).
• \(10\) represents the entry fee for the car.

Given this breakdown, the correct interpretation is:

The entry fee for the car was $10.00.

So, the accurate choice is: The entry fee for the car was $10.00.
