A company orders 27 boxed lunches from a deli for $194.40. Assume each boxed lunch is the same price. If C represents the total cost in dollars and cents of the lunch order for any number,b, of boxed lunches ordered, write a proportional equation for c in terms of b that matches the context

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]C = 7.2b[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we have that,

27 boxes --------------- $194.40

 b boxes --------------- C

Using the Rule of Three we have that,

[tex]27C = 194.40b[/tex]

Since we want a function that represents C in terms of b ( C = f(b) ) we can isolate C on the equation,

[tex]C = \frac{194.40}{27}b = 7.2b[/tex]
