  • Bcompany A: , company B:
  • Ccompany A: , company B:
  • Dcompany A: , company B:
  • Ecompany A: , company B:

Q8:

At a flea market, a woman sells her homemade hacky sacks. She paid $10.00 to have a stall erected at the market and makes $20.25 for every hacky sack she sells. Write a function for the money she earns.

  • A 𝑦 = 1 0 𝑥 + 2 0 . 2 5
  • B 𝑦 = 2 0 . 2 5 𝑥 + 1 0
  • C 𝑦 = 1 0 𝑥 − 2 0 . 2 5
  • D 𝑦 = 2 0 . 2 5 𝑥 − 1 0
  • E 𝑦 = 3 0 . 2 5 𝑥 − 1 0

Q9:

A group of friends want to go cycling and are trying to choose a bike rental company. Rental A charges $10 per hour plus a rental fee of $5, whereas rental B charges $7 for 1 hour and $25 for 4 hours. Given that the relationship between the number of hours and the cost is linear for both bike rental companies, write the corresponding linear functions that describe the total cost of each company.

  • Arental A: 𝑦 = 5 𝑥 + 1 0 , rental B: 𝑦 = 1 6 𝑥 + 1 6
  • Brental A: 𝑦 = 5 𝑥 + 1 0 , rental B: 𝑦 = 𝑥 + 6
  • Crental A: 𝑦 = 1 0 𝑥 + 5 , rental B: 𝑦 = 6 𝑥 − 1
  • Drental A: 𝑦 = 1 0 𝑥 + 5 , rental B: 𝑦 = 6 𝑥 + 1
  • Erental A: 𝑦 = 1 0 𝑥 − 5 , rental B: 𝑦 = 6 𝑥 + 1

Q10:

Rania is trying to decide which pool to go swimming in. There are two nearby pools: pool A, which has a membership fee of $150 and charges $7 per visit, and pool B, which charges $260 for 15 visits and $316 for 22 visits. Write the corresponding linear functions that describe each pool’s total cost for swims.
