PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Create a story that is about one page in length using at least five different algebraic expressions and/or equations. These are some example story starters that you can adapt from or expand upon. Be creative and come up with your own characters and scenarios and create expressions and equations as well.
Story Starter 1: A character is offered five different jobs. They all include an hourly wage, as well as a set weekly base pay. One example is a job that pays $8.50 an hour, plus an additional $25 bonus for the week. (Weekly base pay is what you automatically get paid for working the entire week. A bonus is money you earn in addition to the weekly base pay.)
Story Starter 2: A character is searching for the best cell phone plan to buy. One plan costs $25 a month, plus $0.89 per minute used.
Story Starter 3: A character is trying to decide which cab to choose from the five available. All the cabs have different rates per mile. They also charge different flat rates in addition to the rates per mile. One cab is offering a rate of $0.75 per mile, plus a flat fee of $25.

Answer 7

Example Story Using Five Equations Luke is shopping for a movie to watch with his family. He goes to a video store and reads the sign in the store that describes their rental policy.
He thinks to himself as he reads. “To rent a DVD, I must pay the flat rate of $4.99 for three days, plus $1.99 for every day it's late.” To make a mathematical equation, the cost to rent one DVD, y, is $4.99, plus $1.99 for every day it is late, x. He comes up with this equation: y= $4.99 + $1.99x. As Luke drives home from the store, he wonders if he will have enough gas to get there. He thinks, “I know my car gets 30 miles per gallon.” He then thinks about an equation that he can use to model the situation where d is the total number of miles he can drive, and g is the number of gallons of gas that he has. He comes up with d = 30g.
Luke decides to get a drink at the neighborhood store. The store is advertising a special on all their giant smoothies, which are Luke’s favorite. The sign for the giant smoothies reads: “Buy a giant cup for $0.99 and fill it up for $0.50 an ounce. Luke is really thirsty and wants to figure out if he has enough money to buy a big drink. If he lets the variable s be the cost of the smoothie and n be the number of ounces he buys, then the total cost of the drink will be s = 0.99n.
Before he leaves the store, Luke remembers that he went to a basketball game a few nights ago. It was a great game, down to the last second! He logs on to his computer to read an article about the game. The article begins: “The Spartans won the game by scoring 30 points every hour.” What equation would represent this situation? Luke thinks of p as the total points earned in a game and h as the number of hours played. He decides on the equation p = 30h. As he thinks of the problem, he realizes that this equation fits the information in the story but might not be the way to figure out the number of points scored in every basketball game.
While he's browsing the site, Luke then considers reading some items in the business section. He has been reading lately about how the stock market works, and he is interested in stock trends over the past year. He reads that the stock for a medical company has earned money this year with an average rate of return of about 10 percent. He thinks of an equation for this. The change of the cost of one share of stock over the past year is 0.10. If he uses the variable c for new cost of the stock, and b for the cost of one share of the stock, he would arrive at the equation c = 0.10b to find the new cost of the stock.

Answer 15

Brad is offered five different jobs. They all include an hourly wage, as well as a set weekly base pay.
->The first job pays $8.50 an hour, plus an additional $25 bonus for the week. (Weekly base pay is what you automatically get paid for working the entire week. A bonus is money you earn in addition to the weekly base pay.).
->The second job pays $10 an hour, plus an additional $10 bonus for the week.
->The third job pays $5 an hour, plus an additional $100 bonus for the week
-> The fourth job pays $12 an hour, plus an additional $20 bonus for the week
-> The fifth job pays only $300 bonus per week

Answer 16

He is in a big dilemma which job is better for him - as in which job pays him more

Answer 17

so, he decides to work out how much he gets with each offer by setting up five different equations - one for each offer letter

Answer 24

anyways here is the most part of ur answer :-

Brad is offered five different jobs. They all include an hourly wage, as well as a set weekly base pay.
->The first job pays $8.50 an hour, plus an additional $25 bonus for the week. (Weekly base pay is what you automatically get paid for working the entire week. A bonus is money you earn in addition to the weekly base pay.).
->The second job pays $10 an hour, plus an additional $10 bonus for the week.
->The third job pays $5 an hour, plus an additional $100 bonus for the week
-> The fourth job pays $12 an hour, plus an additional $20 bonus for the week
-> The fifth job pays only $300 bonus per week

He is in a big dilemma which job is better for him - as in which job pays him more

so, he decides to work out how much he gets with each offer by setting up five different equations - one for each offer letter

He knows that he needs to work 40 hours per week. So he comes up with below equations for payments of each job :

->The first job pays $8.50 an hour, plus an additional $25 bonus for the week.
total pay per week = 25 + 8.5h = 25 + 8.5*40 = $365

->The second job pays $10 an hour, plus an additional $10 bonus for the week.
total pay per week = 10 + 10h = 10 + 10*40 = $410

->The third job pays $5 an hour, plus an additional $100 bonus for the week
total pay per week = 100 + 5h = 100 + 5*40 = $300

-> The fourth job pays $12 an hour, plus an additional $20 bonus for the week
total pay per week = 20 + 12h = 20 + 12*40 = $500

-> The fifth job pays only $300 bonus per week
total pay per week = $300

Answer 25

Conclude the story by saying which job he picks

Answer 26

id leave it to u

Answer 27

I really do not understand it

Answer 28

could you help me

Answer 29

friend, i can help u to understand it.
i cannot give u direct answers sorry.. .it wont help u or me

Answer 30

if u have followed the story,
all u need to do to conclude the story is to just "see which job pays him more"

Answer 31

I know but I do not get it

total pay per week = 100 + 5h = 100 + 5*40 = $300

total pay per week = 20 + 12h = 20 + 12*40 = $500

-> The fifth job pays only $300 bonus per week
total pay per week = $300


since the fourth job pays him highest, $500 per week. he chooses the fourth job offer.
