A photographer charges a sitting fee of $15 plus $3 per pose. Give the range for 1 to 5 poses

1 answer

To find the total cost for a photographer who charges a sitting fee of $15 plus $3 per pose, we can calculate the total cost for each number of poses from 1 to 5.

The formula for the total cost (C) is:

\[ C = 15 + 3p \]

where \( p \) is the number of poses.

Now, let's calculate the total cost for each number of poses:

  • For 1 pose:
    \( C = 15 + 3(1) = 15 + 3 = 18 \)

  • For 2 poses:
    \( C = 15 + 3(2) = 15 + 6 = 21 \)

  • For 3 poses:
    \( C = 15 + 3(3) = 15 + 9 = 24 \)

  • For 4 poses:
    \( C = 15 + 3(4) = 15 + 12 = 27 \)

  • For 5 poses:
    \( C = 15 + 3(5) = 15 + 15 = 30 \)

Now, summarizing the total costs:

  • 1 pose: $18
  • 2 poses: $21
  • 3 poses: $24
  • 4 poses: $27
  • 5 poses: $30

The range of total costs for 1 to 5 poses is from $18 to $30.
