In a college meal plan you pay a membership fee, then all of your meals are at a fixed price per week. If 20 meals cost $152 and 60 meals cost $312, answer the following questions:

a) Write a formula for the cost of a meal plan, C, in terms of the number of meals, n.

=

b) What is the membership fee? $

c) What is the price per meal? $

d) Find the cost for 40 meals. $

e) Find n in terms of C. =

f) Finally, use your answer in part (e) to determine the maximum number of meals you can buy on a budget of $300. Maximum number of meals implies if you find that n = 3.9, then you can buy a maximum of 3 meals. You must truncate any decimal solutions (which is different from rounding).
