Question

help

Answer 1

Ideas?

Answer 2

idk how to start this

Answer 3

Okay so we want to make an equation that represents all expenses, which is a fixed cost from the given prices?

Answer 4

idk because it shows 200 and 562.50

Answer 5

Hint: Fixed

Which one has fixed before it?

Answer 6

200

Answer 7

Right
\(y=mx+b\)
So that is our b value

In this question we are trying to find number of baskets which is our x value

What is the cost per basket?

Answer 8

$2.50

Answer 9

Yes, so we have

\(y=2.50x+200\)

To answer the first part, we want to find the expenses for 40 baskets, so we substitute 40 in for x

\(y=2.50(40)+200\)

Answer 10

y = 300

Answer 11

Right so for 40 baskets she would make $300

(You might want to reword this)

Answer 12

Now we have to answer part 2

If her total was $562.50, how many baskets did she buy?

Do you know how to solve for this one?

Answer 13

562.50 = 2.50x + 200 ?

Answer 14

Right, now you want to solve for x

Answer 15

562.50 = 2.50x + 200
-200 -200
362.5 = 2.50x
145 = x
