The cost associated with a school dance is $300 for a venue rental and $24 for each couple
that attends. This can be represented by the expression 300 + 24x.
a. Define all the variables and terms is this scenario. That means tell us what x, 24x, and
300 represent



Answer :

Answer:

  • 300 -- venue cost
  • 24 -- cost for each couple
  • x -- the number of couples
  • 24x the cost associated with all couple
  • 300+24x -- the total cost for the dance

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the scenario that cost is $300 for the venue and $24 for each couple attending a dance at that venue, you want to know the meaning of the variables and terms in 300 +24x.

Comparison

You can compare the terms, coefficients, and variables in the given expression with the parts of the problem statement.

  • 300 is a constant term that corresponds to "$300 for a venue rental'
  • 24 is a coefficient that corresponds to "$24 for each couple"
  • x is a variable representing the number of "couple that attends"
  • 24x is a term representing the cost associated with "$24 for each couple that attends"

That is, the cost associated with the number of people attending is $24 times the number of couples: 24x. The expression 300+24x is the total of the fixed venue cost and the per-couple costs
