Jane is organizing a fundraiser to buy a ping-pong table for the community center. The table costs $500.00. Jane is asking contributors to pay for an equal share of the cost of the table. She already has five contributors lined up. What function models the cost per share, C, with respect to the number of new contributors, n? How many new contributors must Jane recruit in order for the cost of each share to be $20.00?

Hey, William! I don't know if you still need to know this, but the regular function would be 500 = C (n + 5) if you were to include the C.

Hey Damon I just had a quick question.In the function that we use to model the cost per share,c, with respect to the number of new contributors,n, do we have to include the variable c like you did with the variable n?
