Marco and his two younger sisters would like to purchase a silver charm bracelet for their mother’s birthday. They went to the mall and found what they were looking for at Store A. In Store A, the bracelet without charms costs $85 and each charm costs $15.

Yes but idk how to graph it because the amount they save to purchase is also a variable

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

yes :) plus, if you do the math, the people saved up enough for the bracelet itself ofc, and 11 charms. if you want to graph the amount of charms… it would be pretty linear

lena772 · Answer

It says they saved between 85 and 250, not a set amount

anonymous · Answer

so the domain for ordering charms, is x >= 0
