Write a function rule to represent the situation.the total cost C for p pounds of cheese if each pound costs ​$4.02Question content area bottomPart 1Write a function rule using C and p as variables.

1 answer

To represent the total cost \( C \) for \( p \) pounds of cheese, where each pound costs $4.02, you can write the function rule as follows:

\[ C(p) = 4.02p \]

In this rule:

  • \( C \) represents the total cost.
  • \( p \) represents the number of pounds of cheese.
  • The coefficient \( 4.02 \) represents the cost per pound of cheese.

So, as you increase \( p \), the total cost \( C \) will increase proportionally based on the price per pound.
