Jessie owns a hot dog stand and sells specialized hot dogs. He charges $1.50 for a plain hot dog and then an additional $0.50 for each topping that you want. This can be modeled by the equation C =.5x + 1.5, where C is the total cost of the hot dog and x is the number of toppings you ordered. The company that he buys his hot dogs from was having a sale so he was able to buy the hot dogs for less. He will now sell them for $0.25 less than before. What should be changed in the equation C =.5x + 1.5 to represent this?

A) Replace the. 5 with a. 75

B) Replace the. 5 with a. 25.

C) Replace the 1.5 with a 1.25

D) Replace the 1.5 with a 1.75

    Given:

    C =.5x + 1.5

    1.5 is the charge for a plain hotdog

    0.50 is the additional charge for each topping of the plain hotdog.

    C is the total cost of the hotdog

    x is the number of toppings ordered

    Because of a sale in hotdog from supplier, the charge will be 0.25 lesser than before.

    C = 0.5x + 1.5 should be changed to reflect the change

    C.) Replace the 1.5 with 1.25

    C = 0.5x + 1.25
