Question

Orlando went to a game room, which charged $3.00 admission plus $0.50 per game token. The equation representing his cost is y = 0.50x + 3. When he graphs this, what should be the label on the x-axis?

a) number of tokens
b) cost per tokens
c) admission
d) total cost

Answer 1

x axis : number of tokens
y axis : total cost

Answer 2

Answer: a) number of tokens

Explanation:

Given : Orlando went to a game room, which charged $3.00 admission plus $0.50 per game token.

Here the quantity for which the cost varies = Number of tokens

Thus, the independent quantity = Number of tokens

The equation representing his cost is :-

`y = 0.50x + 3`

Here, the independent variable = x

Therefore, x represents the number of tokens .

So when he graphs this equation , we should label number of tokens on x-axis.
