Question

Each bag of rocks for an aquarium costs $12.35. Which equation best represents y, the total cost of x bags of rocks?

Answer 1

The equation is

y = $ 12.35 x

Explanation:

Cost of one bag of rocks = $ 12.35

Let there are x bags of rocks, so that the total cost is y.

So, the cost of 1 bag = $ 12.35

cost of x bags = $12.35 x

The total cost is

y = $12.35 x

It is the equation of a straight line which passes from origin and the slope is 12.35.
