Each semester, students enrolling at a community college must pay a tuition cost of $20 per credit hour plus a $40 registration processing fee.
A) Write a linear equation that gives the total cost c to be paid by a student enrolling at the college and taking x credit hours.
.
c(x) = 20x + 40
.
b)Find the enrollment cost for a student taking 12 credit hours.
.
c(x) = 20x + 40
c(12) = 20(12) + 40
c(12) = 240 + 40
c(12) = $280
