(b) What is the cost of a ticket for the next game they play?

Answer:

(a) $ (49.64-0.41x)

Ticket Price after x losses = $ (49.64-0.41x)

Therefore, total change in the cost of a ticket given their losses=$ (49.64-0.41x)

(b) For this season the Panthers has suffered 31 losses.

Number of Losses, x=31

Therefore, cost of a ticket for the next game they play

= $ (49.64-0.41*31)

=49.64-12.71

=$36.93
