You are planning a fashion show to display your new line. You have a limited budget for an upcoming event. You need to figure out how much it will cost to rent a space and pay per person for a light snack. If the cost of the rental space is $780 and the price per person for food is $9.75, construct a linear equation to show the total cost, for any number of people in attendance. With this equation, determine the actual cost of the event with the food and rental costs included if 200 people attend.

the percent of students who graduate from a colleges nursing program was 72% in 2005. since that time the rate of graduates from the same program has decreased by 2.1 percentage points per year. let P be the percent graduating from the nursing program X years since 2005. write a linear equation relating X and P

Tomas sells cars and there is a linear relationship between the number of cars he sells each week and his weekly pay. One week Tomas sold 4 cars and he made $820 that week. Another week he sold 6 cars and made $980. Write an equation that models the linear relationship between the number of cars Tomas sells in a week and his pay for that week. DO NOT USE ANY SPACES between variables, constants, equals signs, and operation signs. For example, DO NOT enter y = 2x + 1. DO ENTER: y=2x+1. Put parentheses around constants that are fractions like this: y=(2/3)x-(1/2) To write your equation, use the variables: p = total weekly pay ($) n = number of cars sold during the week The equation in slope-intercept form is

A school can buy 150 textbooks for $9725. They could also buy 85 textbooks for $5630 under the same plan. Assuming a linear relationship, write the equation that describes the situation.
