Question 1040494: The linear function C(t)=p+ant models the cost for four college sophomores to purchase a car and gasoline for a three-year period. In this function, t is the number of years, p is the purchase price of the car, a is the average cost of gasoline per gallon, and n is the average number of gallons purchased per year.If p=$29.000,a=$3.85 per gallon,and n=832 gallons per year, what is the cost(to the nearest dollar)for each student during the three years of ownership?

Cost for three years= cost of purchase +number of gallons used per year*price of one gallon* number of years
Cost = 29000 + 932*3.85*3
This is the total cost. The four students can share using car pooling. In that case the cost for each student is cost/4
