Question

an arcade charges a $10 entrance fee and $2 for each video game played. start by filling in the table to show the total cost of going to the arcade and playing 1 game. number of games played | total cost in dollars 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Explanation:

Step1: Define cost formula

Total cost = Entrance fee + (Cost per game × Number of games)
Formula: $C = 10 + 2n$, where $C$ = total cost, $n$ = number of games

Step2: Calculate for n=1

Substitute $n=1$ into formula
$C = 10 + 2(1) = 12$

Step3: Calculate for n=2

Substitute $n=2$ into formula
$C = 10 + 2(2) = 14$

Step4: Calculate for n=3

Substitute $n=3$ into formula
$C = 10 + 2(3) = 16$

Step5: Calculate for n=4

Substitute $n=4$ into formula
$C = 10 + 2(4) = 18$

Step6: Calculate for n=5

Substitute $n=5$ into formula
$C = 10 + 2(5) = 20$

Answer:

Number of games played	Total cost in dollars
2	14
3	16
4	18
5	20
