You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the formula is y = 2.25 * x + 15
the entrance fee is 15.
the price per ticket is 2.25
the number of tickets is x
therefore, for 6 tickets, the fo
formula becomes y = 15 + 2.25 * 6
solve for y to get y = 28.50
that's the cost for entrance fee plus 6 tickets.

y+=+2.25x%2B15
if a person buy 6+tickets, then x=6
y+=+2.25%2A6%2B15
y+=+13.5%2B15
y+=+28.5 is the total cost
