If they know they will need their lawn mowed at least 10 times this summer, whichset of equations can the Jones family use to help determine which business would be the most cost efficient?A. y = x - 32y = 25x + 50B. y = x - 8y = 50x + 25C. y = 32x - 32y = 25x + 50D. y = 32x - 8y = 50x +25

Answer 1

The Jones family is considering which one of two businesses will mow their lawn this summer. Lon's Lawns charges a flat rate of $32 for each mow but offers the eighth

mow free. Gilbert's Grass Care charges an annual fee of $50 plus $25 for each mow. If they know they will need their lawn mowed at least 10 times this summer, which

set of equations can the Jones family use to help determine which business would be the most cost efficient?

A. y = x - 32

y = 25x + 50

B. y = x - 8

y = 50x + 25

C. y = 32x - 32

y = 25x + 50

D. y = 32x - 8

y = 50x +25

we have

Lon's Lawns

y=32x-32

because

For x=10------> y=320 minus the cost of one free (32)

Gilbert's Grass Care

y=25x+50

therefore

the answer is the option C
