Chapter 4.6, Problem 46MR

To determine

Function that represent the total amount spend on buying shocks and shirts

Answer to Problem 46MR

Function will be $a\left(s\right)=4.5a+10$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given situation is,

Cost of a pair of shocks is $4.50/pair.

Cost of a shirt is $10.

Here cost of shocks per pair is $4.5.

Total cost of shocks will depend on number of pairs s.

And the cost of a shirt will be constant.

Now,

The total amount a spend as a function of pairs of shocks s will be

  $a\left(s\right)=4.5a+10$
