Question 1206666: Geometry in Construction is having a chili supper as a fundraiser for the Habitat for Humanity house building project. They have estimated there is $400 worth of set up expenses plus $3 in expenses for each meal. Tickets to the event are being sold for $8.
Write an equation for the costs of the chili supper. Use x and y as your variables.

x, how many meals
y, cost of the whole supper for all the preparations and the meals

The ticket price does not come in here because the question is focused just on the cost for the Geometry In Construction group producing the chili supper.
