Answer:
Explanation:
The general equation is
y = 2.49x + 24.99
The number of cones bought is x
The cake cost is 24.99
The total cost is y
===========
So the meaning of (5,37.44) is that she bought 5 cones and 1 cake. Let's just check that out.
Check
y = 2.49*5 + 24.99
y = 12.45 + 24.99
y = 37.44
So the total cost (y) of 5 cones (2.49 each) and 1 cake ($24.99) is 37.44
