Question

The function f(x)= 3x + 25 models the yearly membership cost for a movie rental club, where x is the number of more • Last year, Sarah rented 41 movies. Last year, Tim rented twice the amount of movies as Sarah. How much more did Tim pay last year than Sarah?​

Answer 1

Tim paid $123 more last year than Sarah.

Explanation:

First, plug in 41 for the equation to get the cost Sarah has paid last year in which you should get $148 as the first part of your answer. Since Tim rented twice the amount of movies Sarah has rented, you should multiply that number to get 82. Then, plug in 82 for the equation to get the cost Tim paid last year in which you should get $271 as your second part of the answer. Then subtract 148 from 271 to get a difference of $123 in which Tim paid more of than Sarah.
