Answer:
C = 1.25n
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given table,
There is a common difference of $1.25 in every successive term to the previous term of the total cost,
Difference in the costs of 2 cans and 1 can = $2.50 - $1.25 = $1.25
Similarly, Difference in the costs of 3 cans and 2 cans = $3.75 - $2.50 = $1.25
Total cost of the cans are forming an Arithmetic sequence, explicit formula the sequence will be,
[tex]T_n=a+(n-1)d[/tex]
= 1.25 + (n -1)(1.25)
Or, C = 1.25 + 1.25n - 1.25
C = 1.25n
