Plan. In writing an equation that will represent the of PPV hours in a month ₱130.00(x) = amount of PPV payment in
relationship between the known and unknown quantities, a specific hour The payment function is f(x) = 450 + 130(x).
since we know that if we travelled up to 4 stations we must
pay P18, we can represent it as f(x) = 18 for 0 < 𝑥 ≤ 4 b. The monthly bill of a customer who watched 25 hours PPV
events can be represented by 24 < x ≤ 25. f(x) = 450 + 130(x).
However, if we travelled more than 4 stations the cost of the f(25) = 450 + 130(25) = 450 + 3,250 = 3,750

consider it. Since the cost of every station after the 4th station event is ₱3,750.00
is ₱5.00 we will now obtain f(x) = 18 + 5(x – 4)
c. The monthly bill of a customer who watched 0.5 hour PPV
Now simplifying the equation will lead us to: f(x) = 18 + 5x – 20 events can be represented by 0 < x ≤ 1 and since the problem
f(x) = 5x – 2 states that regardless of a full hour or a fraction of an hour the
additional charge will be made on hourly basis only, thus the
At this point we can say that the fare function is f(x) = 5x - 2 value of x will be 1 f(x) = Php 450.00 + Php 130.00(x). f(1) = Php
