A ticket to see your favorite baseball team costs $30.08. That price decreases by $0.42 for every game lost during the regular season. What equation could you use to find the cost C of a ticket after L losses? Represent the total change in the cost of a ticket after the team loses 27 games. What is the price of a ticket after the team loses 27 games?

Given :

A ticket to see your favorite baseball team costs $30.08.

That price decreases by $0.42 for every game lost during the regular season.

To Find :

What equation could you use to find the cost C of a ticket after L losses.

Solution :

Let, n is number of match loses and P is the price of ticket.

So, equation is given by :

P = 30.08 - (0.42)n           1)

Putting n = 27 in above equation,we get :

P = 30.08 - ( 0.42 )( 27 )

P = $18.74

Therefore, the price of a ticket after the team loses 27 games is $18.74 .

Hence, this is the required solution.
