Adam goes to a skating rink on Tuesdays for $8.50. While there, he pays $1.50 for each item he buys at the concession stand. Which equation best represents this information?

y = 8.50x + 1.50
y = 8.50x - 1.50
y = 1.50x - 8.50
y = 1.50x + 8.50

Question

Adam goes to a skating rink on Tuesdays for $8.50. While there, he pays $1.50 for each item he buys at the concession stand. Which equation best represents this information?


y = 8.50x + 1.50
       y = 8.50x - 1.50
       y = 1.50x - 8.50
       y = 1.50x + 8.50

bibby · Answer

1.50 for each. meaning:
x=1 -> 8.50 (rink cost) + 1.50
x=2 -> 8.50 (rink cost) + 3

D       y = 1.50x + 8.50
1.50 for each thing he buys
plus the constant cost of 8.50 to get in

anonymous · Answer

The x represents how much items he bought.

anonymous · Answer

So lets say, Adam bought 5 items for $1.50.  

y = 1.50(5) + 8.50

y= 7.50 + 8.50

y = $16.00
