The senior class at Hartford High School is planning their prom. They’ve narrowed the location down to two choices. The Regal Hotel charges, C

, $500 for the ballroom rental fee and $75 per student, s
, for the meal. The Greenhill Country Club charges, C
, $1,000 for the ballroom rental fee and $65 per student, s
, for the meal. Create a pair of linear equations that represent this real-world problem.(1 point)

Regal Hotel: C=1,000s+75
; Greenhill Country Club: C=500s+65
Regal Hotel: upper C equals 1,000 s plus 75 ; Greenhill Country Club: upper C equals 500 s plus 65

Regal Hotel: C=75s+1,000
; Greenhill Country Club: C=65s+500
Regal Hotel: upper C equals 75 s plus 1,000 ; Greenhill Country Club: upper C equals 65 s plus 500

Regal Hotel: C=500s+75
; Greenhill Country Club: C=1,000s+65
Regal Hotel: upper C equals 500 s plus 75 ; Greenhill Country Club: upper C equals 1,000 s plus 65

Regal Hotel: C=75s+500
; Greenhill Country Club: C=65s+1,000
Regal Hotel: upper C equals 75 s plus 500 ; Greenhill Country Club: upper C equals 65 s plus 1,000

To create a pair of linear equations that represent the costs for the prom at each location, we need to account for both the fixed costs (rental fees) and the variable costs (meal costs per student).

  1. For the Regal Hotel:

    • Rental fee = $500
    • Meal cost per student = $75
    • Total cost, \(C\), for \(s\) students can be expressed as: \[ C = 500 + 75s \]
  2. For the Greenhill Country Club:

    • Rental fee = $1,000
    • Meal cost per student = $65
    • Total cost, \(C\), for \(s\) students can be expressed as: \[ C = 1000 + 65s \]

Thus, the correct equations are:

  • Regal Hotel: \(C = 500 + 75s\)
  • Greenhill Country Club: \(C = 1000 + 65s\)

This matches with none of the provided options directly, but based on the structure of the equations, if we assume the equations are meant to be presented with a standard format, we would express them as:

  • Regal Hotel: \(C = 75s + 500\)
  • Greenhill Country Club: \(C = 65s + 1000\)

Among the given options, the closest match in terms of format is:

Regal Hotel: \(C = 500s + 75\); Greenhill Country Club: \(C = 1000s + 65\).

However, the correct equations are as stated above. Always ensure to verify the equations based on fixed costs and variable rates.
