A video arcade charges an entrance fee, then charges a fee per game played. The entrance fee is $5, and each game costs an additional $1. Find the total cost for playing 0, 1, 2, or 3 games. Describe the total cost with an explicit equation.
[list=1] [*]Use the description of the costs to find the total costs. [*]Identify the independent and dependent quantities. [*]Determine if there is a common difference or a common ratio between the dependent terms. [*]Use the common difference to write an explicit equation. [*]Evaluate the equation to verify that it is correct. [/list] This applet is provided by Walch Education as supplemental material for the [i]UCSS Secondary Math I[/i] program.
