Answer:
Choice C
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the equation y = 0.5 x + 5
is a linear equation so the points that are solutions of it must reside on a line. Option A does not show aligned points, so it cannot be a possible answer.
Option B: we look into the given points and notice that just the first one (1, 0) is NOT a solution to the equation because:
y = 0.5 (1) + 5 = 5.5 and not "0"
Option C: This is the correct answer, since all those points satisfy the equation
Point (2, 6) --> y = 0.5 (2) + 5 = 1 + 5 = 6
Point (4, 7) --> y = 0.5 (4) + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7
Point (6, 8) --> y = 0.5 (6) + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8
We will use the amount Jermaine used to determine the admission price, since that is not given to us. The total amount he paid is equal to the sum of the price of the tickets and the admission price, a. We get the equation 48.75 = 1.50 * 20 + a (a = $18.75). Now, if a person comes to the fair and pays for only the rides and admission, we can form an equation in x, the number of ride tickets, and y, the total cost incurred by that person. y = 1.50x + 18.75. Here, y is the total cost, 1.50 is the price per ticket, x is the number of tickets and 18.75 is the admission cost.
This means that 650 is 38% of the amount the grocer spent before making a cut in the budget. Set up and equal proportion to solve: 650/x = 38/100 → 650*100 = 38x → approximately $1710.53 spent last year
