Given:
Joining fee = $28
Fee of each event = $4
To find:
Total cost for someone to attend 4 events.
Solution:
Let the number of events be x and total fee be y.
Fee for 1 event = $4
Fee for x events = $4x
Joining fee remains constant. So, the total fee is
[tex]y=28+4x[/tex]
Substitute x=4 in this equation.
[tex]y=28+4(4)[/tex]
[tex]y=28+16[/tex]
[tex]y=44[/tex]
Therefore, total cost of 4 events is $44.
