The senior class at Hartford High School is planning their prom. They’ve narrowed the location down to two choices. The Regal Hotel charges, C

, $500 for the ballroom rental fee and $75 per student, s
, for the meal. The Greenhill Country Club charges, C
, $1,000 for the ballroom rental fee and $65 per student, s
, for the meal. Create a pair of linear equations that represent this real-world problem.(1 point)

Regal Hotel: C=75s+500
; Greenhill Country Club: C=65s+1,000
Regal Hotel: upper C equals 75 s plus 500 ; Greenhill Country Club: upper C equals 65 s plus 1,000

Regal Hotel: C=75s+1,000
; Greenhill Country Club: C=65s+500
Regal Hotel: upper C equals 75 s plus 1,000 ; Greenhill Country Club: upper C equals 65 s plus 500

Regal Hotel: C=1,000s+75
; Greenhill Country Club: C=500s+65
Regal Hotel: upper C equals 1,000 s plus 75 ; Greenhill Country Club: upper C equals 500 s plus 65

Regal Hotel: C=500s+75
; Greenhill Country Club: C=1,000s+65

To create the correct pair of linear equations for the prom costs at both locations, we need to identify the fixed rental fees and the variable meal costs.

  1. Regal Hotel:

    • Fixed rental fee: $500
    • Variable meal cost: $75 per student
    • Therefore, the equation will be: \[ C = 75s + 500 \]
  2. Greenhill Country Club:

    • Fixed rental fee: $1,000
    • Variable meal cost: $65 per student
    • Therefore, the equation will be: \[ C = 65s + 1000 \]

Combining these, the pair of linear equations that represent this real-world problem is:

  • Regal Hotel: \( C = 75s + 500 \)
  • Greenhill Country Club: \( C = 65s + 1000 \)

So the correct response is: Regal Hotel: C=75s+500; Greenhill Country Club: C=65s+1,000.
