a) The formula for the expenses of the trip is:
Expenses = $500 + $15 x (number of meals)
b) The two functions to graph are:
1. Expenses = $500 + $15x
2. Expenses = $500
c) To find the cost for 15 meals, plug in x=15 into the formula:
Expenses = $500 + $15 x 15
Expenses = $500 + $225
Expenses = $725
Therefore, it will cost $725 for 15 meals.
