Which equation could be used to calculate the cost, C, for any number of people, p, to eat at the restaurant?
O A. C = 13.77p
O B. C = p + 13.77

o D. C = p + 27.54

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
