Question

There are three different companies that are willing to provide the hot dogs.

• Company A charges $15 toevery 25 hot dogs, plus a cooking fee of $65.
• Company B charges $7 for every 14 hot dogs, plus a cooking fee of $62.
• Company C charges $22 for every 50 hot dogs, plus a cooking fee of $57.
Based on the number of hot dogs needed in question 5, what company will charge you the least amount of money? How do you know?

Answer 1

Company A makes more for one purchase, and Company B makes more for ten purchases. Company C makes less for one purchase and Company A makes less for ten purchases.

Explanation:

Company A: y = -3/5x + 65

Company B: y=1/2x + 62

Company C: 11/25x + 57

Make sure x is 1 then do all the equations, then x is 10 and do all the equations to see which has more amount of money and which has less.

Company A: 64.4 (if x = 1)

Company B: 62.5 (if x = 1)

Company C: 57.44 (if x = 1)

if x = 10

Company A: 59

Company B: 67

Company C: 61.4

(I might be wrong since I'm 14)

Company A makes more for one purchase, and Company B makes more for ten purchases. Company C makes less for one purchase and Company A makes less for ten purchases.
