Calculating Movie Costs: A Real-World Problem
Rob and his girlfriend, along with three friends, plan to see "Step Up 3D" at the movies. With each ticket costing $5.00, we can create an equation to find the total cost, expressed as y = 5.00x, where x is the number of tickets, and y is the total cost. The independent variable x represents the number of tickets purchased, while the dependent variable y represents the total cost, showing that y depends on x. The possible values for x range from 1 to 5, leading to a maximum cost of $25.00 if no additional items like popcorn or drinks are included.

Function Problem Project By kallie phillips
My Real Word Problem • Rob and his girlfriend and their three friends want to go see step up 3d at the movies. If the tickets cost $5.00 each then how much will it cost total?
The Equation • My equation for my problem is: y=5.00x or f(x)= 5.00x • X=the number of movie • Y=the total cost
Independent and Dependent • The independent variable is x, which is my number of movie tickets. • The dependent variable is y, which is the total cost. • “y” depends on “x” So the total cost depends on the number of tickets
Domain and Range • Domain- x values • Range- y values d:{1,2,3,4,5} r:{5.00, 10.00,15.00,20.00, 25.00}
Continuous or Discrete • My data is discrete because it contains only points. • We would only use numbers that are like 1,2,3,4 and so on. Not anything between these.
Function? • A function is where the x values do not repeat. • My x values don’t repeat, therefore it is a function.
Answer • Sooooo….. It would cost up to $25.00 without a coke or popcorn.
