Question

Teri is buying a gaming system for her son. The game console costs 2 hundred dollars and each game cartridge costs thirty dollars.

Write a function rule to show the total amount y paid by Teri for buying the game console and x number of games.

y equals two hundred plus thirty

y equals two hundred plus thirty x

y equals thirty x

y equals two hundred thirty x

Answer 1

well first of all, think about the costs going in to this gaming system.

Answer 2

we know that the person has to pay a one time payment of 200 dollars for the game console itself, so no "x" variable needs to be added after 200.

Therefore, this means our equation will look like "y=200____" so far (the blank space represents the part that we are missing.)

Answer 3

this means we can eliminate answers C. and D. make sense so far? @marrero ?

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

then, each game cartridge costs $30. We do not know how many games Teri will buy.

Therefore, the total amount paid depends on the number of games she buys

y=total amount paid
x=# of games she will buy

and if each game costs 30 dollars, we will have 30x.

Based from this @marrero , what is the final answer?

Answer 6

i think B

Answer 7

y=200+30x

that is indeed B. you are correct! I hope you understand how to do this better, let me know if you have any further questions :)
