The formula Q=15+0.5nQ = 15 + 0.5n gives the cost QQ (in naira) of feeding nn people for a week. Find, in kobo, the extra cost of feeding one additional person.

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. In Q=15+0.5nQ = 15 + 0.5n, each extra person increases nn by 1, so QQ goes up by 0.5.
  2. The cost is in naira: ₦0.50, and ₦1 is 100 kobo, so this is 50k, option D.
