The manager of Extreme Video Games keeps track of the profits the company earned after releasing one of its latest games. During the first week, the game profits were $15,000. In the second week, the profits grew to $22,500. In the third week, profits held steady at $22,500, and in the fourth week, profits grew to $25,000. Using x to represent the week and y to represent the profits earned, create a mapping diagram to represent this relation.

i dnt understand how to get the answer,

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

x=week so when x=1 i.e. first week, what is the profit (y)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15,000

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

So u got 1 pt (1, 15000) okay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

How about the second pt for second week? Where would that be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get the question

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

OK for the second week, x=2 and y=profit for that week=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

22,500

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

(2, 22500) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

I will let u do third n fourth week on ur own now :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 3 and y = profit for 3rd week which is 222, 2500

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

So the third pt will be at where? Refer back the 1st n 2nd pt to get some idea...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, is it 245000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so bad at math im sorry

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

No need to say sorry...x=3 and y=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is y 22,500 again since the profit held steady at 22500

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

Yup the third pt is (3,22500)

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

Show me the fourth point plz? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, but first the third week is 3,22500 because its the 3rd week and the profit is 22500

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=4 y = 4,25000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

Yes...now u just have to plot these 4 points on a graph n u are done!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wow thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):
