The equation is y=x+1

Here's an explanation:

The equation starts out with y since that's what we're told to do. Since the even costs $1, then the total cost would be the total number of attendees + 1. The variable for attendees is x, and since the additional cost is $1 per attendee, you don't have to multiply x with anything. So, the answer would be y=x+1. (Everything's in dollars)
