the junior class is renting a laser tag facility with a capacity of 325 people. the cost for the facility is $1200. the party must have at least 13 adult chaperones a. if every student who attends shares the facility cost equally, what function models the cost per student C with respect to the number of students N who attend? what is the domain of the function? how many students must attend to make the cost per student no more than$7.50?

b. the class wants to promote the event by giving away 30 spots to students in a drawing. how does the model change? now how many paying students must attend so the cost for each is no more than $7.50? someone explain how to solve this it confuses me beyond comprehension OfficialBubbleTanks Jan 26, 2018 Sort: ### 2+0 Answers #1 +92206 +1 the junior class is renting a laser tag facility with a capacity of 325 people. the cost for the facility is$1200. the party must have at least 13 adult chaperones

a. if every student who attends shares the facility cost equally, what function models the cost per student C with respect to the number of students N who attend?

Cost per student = $1200/N what is the domain of the function? $$domain: \;\;1\le N \le (312-additional\;adult\;chaperones)\qquad N\in Z$$ how many students must attend to make the cost per student no more than$7.50?

$$\frac{1200}{N}\le7.50\\ \frac{1200}{7.5}\le N\\ N \ge \frac{1200}{7.5}\\ N \ge 160$$

b. the class wants to promote the event by giving away 30 spots to students in a drawing. how does the model change? now how many paying students must attend so the cost for each is no more than \$7.50?

It doesn't change the number of PAYING students who must attend. It will still need to be 160 or more paying students.

BUT N is not paying students, it is all students so the model does change.

Cost per attending student that is actually paying will be

$$Cost\;per\;paying\;student=\frac{1200}{N-30}$$
