Write a function rule that gives the total cost c(p) of p pounds of sugar if each pound costs $0.59.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To write a function rule that gives the total cost $ c(p) $ of $ p $ pounds of sugar with each pound costing $0.59, we can use the formula for total cost, which is the cost per pound multiplied by the number of pounds.

The function rule can be defined as follows:

\[ c(p) = 0.59p \]

Here, $ c(p) $ represents the total cost in dollars, and $ p $ represents the number of pounds of sugar. When you substitute a value for $ p $, the function will return the total cost for that amount of sugar.
