Hardyke Group operates a local after$-$school recreation and activities program. The Education Department is a state

governmental agency. Hardyke has an agreement with the Department to provide services to students in need for a nominal

$$1$ per day, to be paid by the student. The government will reimburse Hardyke for the "cost" of providing daily services used by

a student.

The regular price to participate in the program is $$5\mathrm{.}30$ per day. After analyzing its costs, Hardyke calculates that, with its

operating deficit, the full cost of each student for a day is $$7\mathrm{.}80.$ All programs that Hardyke offers are unaffected by the number

of students paying the nominal fee.
