Answer:

Equation: m=21(p)

Difference: $5

Explanation:

To solve this, we first need to figure out an equation for Company R.

We know that Company S's equation is m=26(p). this means that the amount reimbursed is 26 times the amount of aluminum returned.

210/10=21

Company R's equation is m=21(p). We know this because throughout the table, the amount reimbursed is always 21 times more than the amount of aluminum returned.

Now that we have two equations, we can solve. 26-21=5.

Therefore, the difference between the amount reimbursed per pound is $5. (As long as there is not another variable, this should be the answer for part b)

All the best on your homework and I hope I didn't get anything wrong!
