At the airport, there is a $25 fee for each bag that is 50 pounds or less. If a bag is over 50 pounds, the traveler gets charged $3 for each pound it weighs over the 50-pound limit. Anita creates the equation to
determine the cost (c) for a bag that weighs any number of pounds (p).
c=25+ 3 (p - 50)
