A paintball court charges an initial entrance fee plus a fixed price per ball, P represents the total price (in dollars) as s function of the number of balls used in n.

Question

P = 0.80n + 5.50
What is the price for 10 balls, not including the entrance fee?

Answer 1

To find the price for 10 balls, we can substitute n = 10 into the equation and solve for P:

P = 0.80(10) + 5.50
P = 8 + 5.50
P = 13.50

Therefore, the price for 10 balls, not including the entrance fee, is $13.50.
