Question

Select the correct function and value on the image.Suppose your soccer coach is ordering duffel bags online for your team. The online store charges$16.49 per bag, plus $10.50 for shipping and handling of the order. Suppose x is the number of bagsordered and g(x) is the total cost of the bags. Select the function that models the relationship. Then,select the cost of buying 12 bags.g(x) = 16.49x + 10.50g(x) = 16.49x + 10.50xg(x)= 10.50x + 16.49g(x)= 16.49x 10.50OinINTL

Answer 1

We are asked to model the given problem using a function in the form of y=mx +c

In this case, our "y" will be the total amount spent while m as the co-efficient of x will equal the amount spent per bag. Lastly the $10.5 dollars that needs to be spent per order has been given independent of how many bags are ordered. This is our value for "c".

Correct option: g(x) = 16.49x + 10.5

We will then calculate the cost of buying 12 bags by substituting this into our equation:

g(12) = 16.49(12) + 10.5

= $208.38
