a fair charges an admission fee of 3 dollars for each person.

Question

Let C be the cost of admission (In dollars) for P people.
Write an equation relating C to P.

Answer 1

The cost of admission \( C \) in dollars can be expressed as a function of the number of people \( P \) attending the fair. Since the admission fee is $3 per person, the equation relating \( C \) to \( P \) is:

\[ C = 3P \]

This means that the total cost \( C \) is equal to 3 dollars multiplied by the number of people \( P \).
