Question

a concession stand vendor counts the money in the register.after 1h, it has $42.75. after 5h, it has $260.75. how much money will be in the register at the end of an 8hour shift?
a)$400.75
b)$412.50
c)$436.00
d)$424.25

Answer 1

non-linear equation...

Answer 2

increases from $42.75 per hour to $52.15 per hour. Assume a linear increase? what do you think

Answer 3

that would mean this is increasing by 2.35 each hour right?

Answer 4

so hour 6 would be $54.50 per hour, hour 7 would be $56.85 per hour and hour 8 would be $59.20 but that would make the answer $473.60 so that can't be right
