Question

You are working on a food budget for your family for the week. You know that you typically spend $90 at the grocery store, and you spend about $40 each time you go out to eat as a family. The graph of the relationship between the number of times you go out to eat and the total weekly budget for food is below.

Answer 1

1. We can see here that if you go out 4 times during the week, you will spend $250 in a week.

2. With a maximum budget of $330, you will go out 6 times.

We see here that looking at the graph, one will discover that each time you go out, you spend $40. Thus, looking at the points on the graph, we see here that 4 times you go out in a week, you will spend $250. The point 4 intercepts at $250.

We also see here that with a maximum budget of $330, you will go out 6 times.

A budget is a financial plan that outlines the expected income and expenses over a specific period, typically monthly, quarterly, or annually. It serves as a roadmap for managing and allocating financial resources within an organization, a household, or for an individual.

Answer 2

Given the following question:

The family spends 90 dollars at a grocery store each week

The family spends 40 dollars each time they go out to eat.

Part one:

`40*4=160+90=250`

If the family goes out to eat four times they would have spent 250 dollars.

Part two:

The final point on the graph is (6, 330)

Which means if the family goes out six times, the budget is 330 dollars.

So, your answer is 6.

`6*40=240+90=330`
