A photographer charges a sitting fee of $15 plus $3 per pose What is the dependent variable

Answer 1

In this scenario, the dependent variable is the total cost charged by the photographer. It depends on the number of poses taken during the photo shoot. The total cost can be expressed with the formula:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Sitting Fee} + (\text{Cost per Pose} \times \text{Number of Poses}) \]

So in this case, as the number of poses increases, the total cost (dependent variable) will also increase.

Answer 2

Give the range for 1 to 5 poses

Answer 3

To calculate the range of total costs for poses from 1 to 5, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Total Cost} = 15 + 3 \times (\text{Number of Poses}) \]

Now, let's calculate the total cost for each value from 1 to 5 poses:

1. For 1 pose: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 15 + 3 \times 1 = 15 + 3 = 18 \]

2. For 2 poses: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 15 + 3 \times 2 = 15 + 6 = 21 \]

3. For 3 poses: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 15 + 3 \times 3 = 15 + 9 = 24 \]

4. For 4 poses: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 15 + 3 \times 4 = 15 + 12 = 27 \]

5. For 5 poses: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 15 + 3 \times 5 = 15 + 15 = 30 \]

So, the total costs for poses from 1 to 5 are:

• 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.
