Question

The function y = 250 + 75x describes the amount of money, y, in dollars that Carisma has in her bank account after working x weeks at the grocery store. In this situation what does the 75

represent?

Answer 1

y = the amount of money in her bank account

x = the number of weeks she works

y = 250 + 75x

[$250 is the amount she already/initially has in the account + $75 for each week she works(x) = amount of $ in account(y)]

75 represents the amount of money she earns per/each week.

Answer 2

Hi,

75 is the amount of money Carisma earns in one week.
