Cost of entry into the movies is $5 plus snacks. The cost of snacks vary, thus the cost for the movies is function of x(cost of snacks) plus the constant, $5.
...
Cost to access the internet at an office store is $5 plus $1 per minute of use; thus, the cost for internet access is function of x(minutes used) plus the constant, $5.
...
Shopping in the local grocery story averages 5 minutes in addition to 1 minute per each item purchased. Therefore, the grocery shopping trip is a function of x(items purchased) plus 5 minutes.
