Question

Golden Corral charges $11 for a buffet plus $1 for each drink. Western Sizzlin charges $9 for a buffet plus $2 for each drink. Which restaurant has the best deal? (I made up these prices!!) Graph the system of equations. (Show your x/y tables) **Use a ruler or your answer will not come out correctly** or Slope- intercept simulation copy and paste

Answer 1

[see below]

Explanation:

Equation 1:

Using 'd' as per drink, and 't' as the total cost:

Golden Corral charges 11 dollars for the buffet. ( + 11 )

They also charge 1 dollar for each drink This could be represented by ' 1d' or 'd'.

So, the Golden Corral deal can be represented by:

t = d + 11

Equation 2:

The Western Sizzlin restaurants charge 9 dollars for a buffet. ( + 9 )

They also charge 2 dollars for the drinks. This is represented by '2d'.

The Western Sizzlin deal can be represented by:

t = 2d + 9

Graphing the equations together, Golden Corral's line is less steeper then Western Sizzlin's line.

Therefore, Golden Corral is cheaper and should be the best deal compared to Western Sizziln'.
