Question

You have $15 to spend in a candy store. If Kitkat cost $0.75 each and mini Snickers are $0.25 each.

1) What is the maximum number of mini Snickers you could buy?
2) What is the maximum number of Kitkats you could buy?
3) How do these maximums relate to the x and y-intercepts of the standard form linear equation that could be used to model this situation?

Answer 1

1) 60 Mini Snickers

2) 20 Kitkats

3) We know that the x intercept is the value of x when y is 0. We also know that the Y intercept is the value of y when x is 0. Both maximums can represent either a y or x intercept because they are the value when you don't have any money left or $0.

Explanation:

1) 15 ÷ 0.25= 60

2) 15 ÷ 0.75= 20

Answer 2

1. 60 snickers

2. 20 KitKats
