A ticket to see your favorite baseball team costs $49.64. That price decreases by $0.41 for every game lost during the regular season.

Which equation would be used to find the cost C of a ticket after L losses?

a. C = 49.64 - 0.41L c. C = 49.64 divided by. 41

b. C = 49.64 + 0.4L d. C = 49.64 (0.41L)

Answer: a. C = 49.64 - 0.41L

Step-by-step explanation:

Since for every losing game the price decrease by 0.41, then the equation become

C = 49.64 - 0.41L.

Imagine that there is 2 game losses, so L = 0.41.

The equation then changes into:

C = 49.64 - 0.41 * 2 (the amount of the game lost)

C = 48.82

So the answer is letter a.
