The cost per guest of catering an event of no more than 100 people is modeled by the function f(x) = 20 + 5x. The number of guests is modeled by the function g(x) = 100 −x , where x represents the number of guests fewer than 100 that attend. Evaluate(f ∙g )(18) and interpret what it means in the context of the problem.

430 is the cost of catering 18 less than 100 guests.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(g(18))=f(100-18)=f(82)=20+5*82=430

the linear relationship that represents a variation in direct proportion is the linear function that varies according to the numbers of its domain, for example the cost of producing x number of items can be represented in direct proportion by f (x) = mx + b, where m is the constant of proportionality, x the number of articles produced and b the fixed cost
