Question

What is a story that can be represented by the equation y=x+1/4x

Answer 1

`y = x + (1)/(4) x`.

Explanation:

We are given an equation of x and y as,
`y = x + (1)/(4) x`.

Now, we have to assume a situation that can be modeled by this above equation.

Let I deposit money in my piggy bank for two consecutive weeks.

In the first week, I deposit a certain amount of money and in the next week, I deposit
`(1)/(4)` of previous week's deposit.

Now, we have to find the total amount of money that I have deposited.

If the total amount of money is y and the first week's deposit is x then we can write
`y = x + (1)/(4) x`. (Answer)
