Question

Adam sells hot dogs during baseball games. The function f(x) tells you the amount of money Adam collects from selling x hot dogs.
What does f(31)=62 tell you?

Answer 1

The function \( f(x) \) represents the amount of money Adam collects from selling \( x \) hot dogs. Specifically, the notation \( f(31) = 62 \) indicates that when Adam sells 31 hot dogs, he collects a total of $62.

This means that the price per hot dog can be calculated by dividing the total money collected by the number of hot dogs sold. In this case, the price per hot dog would be:

\[
\text{Price per hot dog} = \frac{f(31)}{31} = \frac{62}{31} = 2
\]

Thus, each hot dog is sold for $2.
