Question

Cruise ships in the Jolly Cruise Line charge $14.45 per day for access to their premium WI- Fi. Each minute you use the internet you are charged $0.75. Which equation below represents this situation, if y represents the total amount you are charged for the day and a represents the number of minutes you use the Wi-Fi

y= 14.45x + 0.75
y= 14.45x - 0.75
y= 14.45 - 0.75x
y= 14.44 + 0.75x​

Answer 1

The equation y = 14.45 + 0.75x represent the situation.

Explanation:

Given that:

Cost charged to access the premium wifi = $14.45

Cost charged each minute = $0.75

Let,

x represent the number of minutes

y represent the total amount charged

y = 14.45 + 0.75x

Hence,

The equation y = 14.45 + 0.75x represent the situation.
