Question content area bottom
Part 1
Write a function rule using C and p as variables.

Answer 1

To represent the total cost \( C \) for \( p \) pounds of metamorphic rock, where each pound costs $3.69, you can write a function rule as follows:

\[ C(p) = 3.69p \]

In this function rule, \( C(p) \) represents the total cost (in dollars) as a function of \( p \), the number of pounds of rock purchased. Each pound contributes $3.69 to the total cost.
