Noel is hoping to make a profit (in $) on the school play and has determined the function describing the profit to be f (t) = 8t - 2654, where t is the number of tickets sold. What does the number 8 tell you?

the number 8 tells the cost of each ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The function describing the profit to be f (t) = 8t - 2654, where t is the number of tickets sold.

To Find: What does the number 8 tell you?

Solution:

Since we are given a function : f (t) = 8t - 2654

This function determines the profit (in $) and t represents the number of tickets

Since we know that profit is a financial gain, especially the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent

So, 8t represents the amount earned

Since t is the no. of tickets sold.

So, 8 represents the cost of each ticket

Hence the number 8 tells the cost of each ticket
