Question

Dominik uses 20 grams of filling for each dumpling he makes. He has 1500 grams of dumpling filling. The grams F of filling remaining is a function of d, the number of dumplings Dominik makes. Write the function's formula.

Answer 1

F = -20d +1500

This is right on Khan Academy! Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:F=−20d+1500

Step-by-step explanation:he amount of filling used to make each dumpling is constant, so we're dealing with a linear relationship.

We could write the desired formula in slope-intercept form: F=\greenD md+\maroonD bF=md+b. In this form, \greenD mm gives us the slope of the graph of the function and \maroonD bb gives us the yy-intercept. Our goal is to find the values of \greenD mm and \maroonD bb and substitute them into this formula.

Hint #22 / 3

We know that each dumpling Dominik makes decreases the filling remaining by 2020 grams, so the slope \greenD mm is \greenD{-20}−20, and our function looks like F=\greenD{-20}d+\maroonD bF=−20d+b.

We also know that Dominik has 15001500 grams of filling initially, so the yy-intercept \maroonD{b}b is \maroonD{1500}1500.

Hint #33 / 3

Since \greenD{m}=\greenD{-20}m=−20 and \maroonD{b}=\maroonD{1500}b=1500, the desired formula is:
