Answer:

$210

Step-by-step explanation:

We will model the food booth and game booth as linear functions [tex]f(x)=mx+b[/tex] where [tex]m[/tex] is the charge per day, [tex]b[/tex] is the flat fee, and [tex]x[/tex] is the number of days.

Food booth: [tex]F(x)=5x+100[/tex]

Game booth: [tex]G(x)=7x+50[/tex]

We solve for both equations, letting [tex]x=5[/tex]:

[tex]F(5)=25+100=125[/tex]

[tex]G(5)=35+50=85[/tex]

We add the two values to obtain the total cost of $210.
