Question

A grocery store sells bananas for $0.59 per pound. On Wednesdays, the store offers a 10% discount to senior citizens. Create a function f(x) which models the amount, in dollars, a senior citizen would pay for x pounds of bananas on a Wednesday.

Answer 1

f(x)= 0.90(0.59x)

Explanation:

The 10% discount will make it so the senior citizens will pay 90% of the price. 90%=0.90

Also we need to know that 0.59x means how much money per pound the bananas cost.

So when you put it together, you should get f(x)=0.90(0.59x)
