Interpreting Function Notation, Graphs, and Context

The owner of a new racing team is trying to estimate the cost for each series before he commits to one. He has come up with the following variables: Cost=Total cost of seasonA=Average cost of travellingt=Number of times travellingB=Average cost of partsp=Number of partsC=Average cost of repairsr=Number of repairs neededE=Average payout from winsw=Number of wins\begin{align} \text{Cost}&=\text{Total cost of season}\\ A&=\text{Average cost of travelling}\\ t&=\text{Number of times travelling}\\ B&=\text{Average cost of parts}\\ p&=\text{Number of parts}\\ C&=\text{Average cost of repairs}\\ r&=\text{Number of repairs needed}\\ E&=\text{Average payout from wins}\\ w&=\text{Number of wins} \end{align}

The owner's basic model for the season is as follows: Cost=At+Bp+Cr−Ex\text{Cost}= At+Bp+Cr-Ex

How could this be written in function notation?
