Answer:

The value of rate of change in the equation
T(d)=37.69d+60.22 is 37.69.

Explanation:

Given the equation that models the total cost(T) is:


T(d)=37.69d+60.22 where d is the drink you purchase.

To determine the rate of change:

1. An equation must be into the Slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).

2. m is the slope (rate of change) of the linear function.

3. b is the y-intercept of the linear function (y- intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis).

Since, the given equation is in the linear form i.e,
T(d)=37.69d+60.22

The rate of change(m) of the given equation is, 37.69.
