Understanding Paintball Pricing

The video tutorial explains the pricing structure of a paintball court, where entrance costs $5 and paintballs are purchased separately. It defines variables for price and number of balls, calculates the incremental cost per ball, and constructs a price equation. The tutorial also graphs the equation, analyzes the slope, and evaluates statements about the price function, concluding that the relationship is not proportional.

What is the initial cost to enter the paintball court without any paintballs?

• $3

• $10

• $5

• $8

What is the equation for the total price as a function of the number of paintballs?

• p = 0.60 + 5b

• p = 0.60b

• p = 5 + 0.60b

• p = 5b + 0.60
