The pep club is going to sell bouquets of flowers during the homecoming game. They represent their sales, R, and costs,C,with the following equations. R=4.50x C= 200+2.25x x is the number of bouquets.
Question(s)1: When is the pep clubs sales equal to their costs? Explain how you got your answer.
Question 2 :What is the rate of change for each relationship?
Sales:
Cost:
Question 3 : What is the y-intercept for the line of each equation?
Sales:
Cost:
Math problem...HELP!!!!!!!?
DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK!
it is the only way you will learn it! if you have a question ask your teacher tomorrow.
Reply:4.50x=200+2.25x
-2.25x -2.25x
2.25x=200/2.25
x = ~89
Sales: 4.5
Costs: 2.25
Sales: 0
Costs: 200
Hope that helps!
Reply:1) set the 2 equations equal to each other and solve for x
4.5x=200+2.25x --%26gt;subtract 2.25x from both sides
2.25x=200 --%26gt;divide both sides by 2.25
x=88.888.. so after selling approx. 89 bouquets
2) the rate of change is the slope of each equation
in y=mx+b, the slope is m so
in R=4.5x+0 the slope/rate of change is 4.5 (sales)
in C=2.25x+200 the slope/rate of change is 2.25 (cost)
3) in y=mx+b, the y-intercept is b so
in R=4.5x+0 the y-intercept is 0 (sales)
in C=2.25x+200 the y-intercept is 200 (cost)
