Which of the following answer choices accurately interprets a part of the algebraic expression? (1 point) Responses Each individual entry fee was $10.00. Each individual entry fee was $10.00. The entry fee for the car was $10.00. The entry fee for the car was $10.00. The entry fee for the car was $2.50. The entry fee for the car was $2.50. The entry fee for the car was $12.50.

1 answer

To interpret the expression \(2.5x + 10\), we need to identify the parts of the expression.

  1. The term \(2.5x\) suggests that each individual entry fee is $2.50, where \(x\) represents the number of people (in this case, two people: Julio and Ashley).
  2. The constant term \(10\) represents the fixed entry fee for the car.

Given this breakdown, we can conclude:

  • Each individual entry fee was $2.50.
  • The entry fee for the car was $10.00.

From the provided choices, the correct interpretation of a part of the algebraic expression is:

Each individual entry fee was $2.50.

Also, the entry fee for the car was $10.00. Thus, the correct responses are consistent with this interpretation.
