Answer:

The new equation would be \(f(x)=0.05x+10\)


Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation  \(f(x)=0.50x+10\)

  • 10 dollars in the fixed entrance fee, and
  • 50 cents is the price of each ticket

If the ticket price is brought down to 5 cents, so 50 cents should be 5 cents.

5 cents in dollars is  \(\frac{5}{100}=0.05\)

So the new equation would be  \(f(x)=0.05x+10\)

Hence, the .50 part in the equation changes to .05
