Which equation and set of ordered pairs best represents the price, in dollars, of a certain number of copies of the magazine? (1 point) Select one: a. Y = 3x; (1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9) b. Y = 4x; (1, 4), (2, 8), (3, 12) c. Y = 5x; (1, 5), (2, 10), (3, 15) d. Y = 6x; (1, 6), (2, 12), (3, 18) Plz answer quick!

Answer 1

Option a. Y=3x

Explanation:

Let us use cross multiplication method.

Let the cost of 1 magazine be x.

No. of copies Cost

1)50 $150

2)1 x

50x=150 x 1 equation(1)

x=150/50

x=$3

Now see equation (1),

150=50x

150=50 x 3

Here let us represent the cost as y and no. of copies as x.

Y=3x

Therefore, a. Y=3x is the right answer.

Thank you!
