Your science class is taking a field trip to an observatory. The cost of a presentation and a tour of the telescope is $60 for the group plus an additional $3 per person.
a) Write an equation that gives the total cost C as a function of the number of people p in the group.
C(x) = 60 + 3x
------
b) Find the cost if 25 people are in the group.
C(25) = 60 + 3*25
C(25) = 60 + 75
C(25) = $135
